Confrontaion and Correction
2 Timothy 2:23-26
- Central Truth: As God’s useful servants, the spiritual leaders of the church are to confront and correct those in sin and serious doctrinal error.
- Correction must be done in wisdom. (23)
- Is the person involved in clear disobedience to God’s Word?
- Is the person denying a fundamental of the faith?
- What is your goal in arguing the issue?
- Correction must be done in love. (24-25a)
- Correction is not quarrelsome.
- Correction must be kind to all.
- Correction must be based in Biblical teaching.
- Correction must be patient when wronged.
- Correction must be done in gentleness.
- Correction must be done for the sake of souls. (25b-26)
- The destiny of our souls are at stake.
- The assurance of our purpose is secure.
