Taken Captive (2 Tim. 2:24-26) I. Come to their Senses (2:26a). A. We can allow ourselves to be controlled by sin to the point that we lose rational thought (Luke 22:54-62). B. The only way out of this is to come to our senses (Luke 15:11-24; Heb. 3:12-13).
Taken Captive (2 Tim. 2:24-26) II. Escape the Snare of the Devil (2:26b). A. Satan wants to ensnare us with sin and disobedience. 1. He wants to adopt us for himself and make us like him (John 8:42-44). B. The gospel offers an escape. In baptism we are freed from sin. (Rom. 6:1-7).
Taken Captive (2 Tim. 2:24-26) II. Escape the Snare of the Devil (2:26b). C. This escape does not remove us from any danger of future entrapment, but offers security through submission to God (1 John 1:5-9).
Taken Captive (2 Tim. 2:24-26) III. Taken Captive by Him (2:26c). A. When we live in sin we are captive to sin and the devil (John 8:31; 1 John 3:6-8). B. No one likes to be in bondage, yet sometimes we surrender to it willingly (Num. 11:4-6; 2 Pet. 2:18-22).
Taken Captive (2 Tim. 2:24-26) III. Taken Captive by Him (2:26c). C. Surrendering ourselves to serve to God exchanges a bondage and service which is self-destructive for one which offers peace, joy and happiness in the age to come. (Rom. 6:8-22).
Taken Captive (2 Tim. 2:24-26) IV. To Do His Will (2:26d). A. God wants us to do His will (Luke 12:42-47). B. We cannot serve sin and the devil and please God, because in doing so we are doing Satan s will (John 8:44). C. We must choose to do God s will (Rom. 6:17).
