Wednesday, September 25 Preach the word, be at it urgently.—2 Tim. 4:2. When you consider what stands to be gained or lost as a result of our preaching, you probably feel an urgent need to speak to others about the good news. (Rom. 10: 13, 14) God’s Word says: “When I say to the wicked one: ‘You will positively die,’ and he actually turns back from his sin and carries on justice and righteousness, . . . he will positively keep living. He will not die. None of his sins with which he has sinned will be remembered against him.” (Ezek. 33:14-16) Indeed, the Bible tells those who teach the Kingdom message: “You will save both yourself and those who listen to you.” (1 Tim. 4:16; Ezek. 3:17-21) Jesus had foretold that an apos- tasy would develop. (Matt. 13:24, 25, 38) As that development ap- proached, it was urgent for Tim- othy to “preach the word” even inside the congregation so that Christians would not be misled by the deceptive attractiveness of false teachings. Lives were at stake. w12 3/15 2:3, 4
