2Timothy 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,

In this verse Paul introduces himself as an apostle of Jesus Christ. He had been commissioned to special service by the glorified Lord. This commission was not by men or through men, but directly through the will of God. Paul speaks of his apostleship as being according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus. God has made a promise that all who believe in Christ Jesus will receive eternal life. Paul's call to be an apostle was in harmony with this promise. In fact, if there had been no such promise, there would have been no need of an apostle like Paul.

What does 2 timothy chapter 2 mean?

A:Second Timothy is an encyclical written in Paul's name during the first half of the second century, to address pastoral issues that had arisen and for that reason is known as a 'Pastoral epistle'. Chapter 4 is the concluding chapter, in which 'Paul' signs off and sends his greetings to the companions of Timothy, but first he tells Timothy news of others and mentions that he himself expects to die soon.As with all pseudepigraphical documents, we should not assume that the intended recipient really was Timothy. The personal touches in this chapter were clearly intended to convince readers that this epistle was really written by Paul, and not a forgery.
