2 Timothy 3:14-17

Why We Are Reformed

This sermon from 2 Timothy 3 reflects on three central aspects of the Reformed faith: covenantal, Christ-centered, and obedient to the Scriptures. Timothy’s upbringing shows how the covenant promises of God extend to believers and their children, inviting the whole church to share in the nurture of the next generation. At the heart of it all is faith in Christ, the center of life and salvation, reminding us that no system or tradition is greater than Him. Finally, Paul’s words about Scripture being God-breathed call us to let the Word shape both our beliefs and our conduct. To be Reformed is not to boast in distinctives but to be made wise for salvation through Jesus Christ, who remains the foundation, the focus, and the goal of it all.
