The epistle of Second Timothy is considered to be one of Paul’s most personal letters. He is writing during his second and final imprisonment to his trusted and beloved son in the faith. Paul knows his execution is imminent. His concern is not for himself, but for Timothy, who must continue in the spiritual battle. His theme, “the good soldier of Jesus Christ” follows that of first Timothy, “Fight the good fight” (1Ti 1:18; 1Ti 6:12).

We know that the only perfectly steadfast and sinless soul that ever lived was the Lord Jesus Christ. From His very birth, He set His mind on the mission God sent Him to this Earth to accomplish. He set His face like flint to the task; He lived and died to reconcile man to God. To safeguard our soul would be to arm ourselves with the “mind of Christ,” to think as He thought, and to walk as He walked.
