TELL ALL, WHO JESUS IS 2 TIMOTHY 1
Paul wrote in 2 TIMOTHY to direct Timothy to teach others about Jesus, so they will have the determination to follow Jesus and receive the indwelling of The Holy Spirit!!! Paul's suffering for Christ Jesus was devastating Paul was imprisoned, he was beaten, whipped, and stoned, and he let nothing but death, stop him from sharing Jesus!!! Paul before his death was now encouraging Timothy to tell others about Jesus Christ who brought eternal life and to engage others fully in salvation and living a life of obedience!!!
2 TIMOTHY 1:6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. 8 So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God. 9 He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, 10 but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 11 And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher. 12 That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day. 13 What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus. 14 Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.

In 2 Timothy, Paul emphasizes the significance of sharing the gospel amidst suffering and challenges. He reminds Timothy to reignite his passion and commitment to teaching others about Jesus Christ. As Paul faced persecution, he urged Timothy not to be ashamed of his testimony or the hardships he may encounter. This encouragement serves as a timeless reminder for Christians today, urging them to stand firm in their faith and to actively share the message of salvation. Paul highlights that the Spirit empowers believers, providing them with love, power, and self-discipline. The call to share Jesus is not only about imparting knowledge but also about demonstrating a life transformed by grace. Furthermore, the image of 'fanning into flame the gift of God' serves as a powerful metaphor for nurturing one's faith and ability to inspire others. Ultimately, the sacrifices made by Paul, including his imprisonment and suffering, underscore the profound commitment individuals should have in spreading the message of Christ, encouraging believers today to embody the same dedication in their journey of faith.
