The church has been promised to face threats of all kinds, and our text plunges us into a scene already in progress. False teachers, driven by faulty motives, preaching a false gospel are already having an impact on the church at Ephesus. Paul urges Timothy to remain on post and guard the gospel from this threat. For when Jesus gave his life for sinners as a gracious act of mercy it was a glorious display of God, our gospel. This grace is contrary to law, and therefore the glory of the gospel has now transcended the lesser glory of law. All teaching now is judge by whether or not it is gospel based. May God be blessed by his people as we continue to teach that which accords with he gospel of our glorious God.
