...The Last Days Of The Dispensation Of Grace?
Last month we presented an article in which we pondered the question,
“Are we living in The Last Days Of The Dispensation Of Grace?"
We shared some thoughts about what Paul says about the last days in
II Timothy 3:1-9, but left it up to you to decide if Paul’s description of
the last days matches the days in which we live.
With this article, we want to consider the words that Paul wrote to follow up
his description of the last days, words that he used to instruct Timothy about
how to live in the last days that he just finished describing.
Having warned Timothy about the false teachers that will resist The Truth in
the last days (3:6-9), you would think that Paul would go on to tell Timothy
all about their false teachings in order to prepare him for the last days.
Instead, he reminded his son in the faith, “thou hast fully known my doctrine”
(v. 10). This is significant in that we are often told that if you live among
Mormons or Buddhists, etc., you have to study their teachings to be prepared
to deal with them. ('link')...
...Contrariwise, Paul tells Timothy that since he fully knew Pauline doctrine,
he was fully prepared for the last days! Maybe you’ve been preparing for what
many believe are the last days of America, storing up food, water, ammunition,
and so on. May we suggest that it is infinitely more important that you prepare
for the last days of the Age of Grace by fully knowing Paul’s Gospel?...
