Introduction

"Paul wrote this second letter to Timothy from Rome, when he was a prisoner there and his life was in danger." He writes knowing that his death was not far away.

2 Timothy 1:1-2

v1-2: The blessings of grace, mercy, and peace are blessings that we need each day.  We need grace to help us "in times of need," and "mercy to pardon what is wrong" in us, so we can have the assurance of peace with God. These blessings come from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord and so we "should seek God and Christ for them."
