3:1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. 6 For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, 7 always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. 9 But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men. 2 Timothy 3:3-9

Godlessness in the Last Days
A Scriptural Guide for The Sufficiency of God's Wonderful Grace:( AKA a Witnessing Guide)
The Sufficiency and Sovereignty of God's Grace:
John 6:44- No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
2 Corinthians 12:9- But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Ephesians 2:4-5- But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
Ephesians 1:4-6- even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved
The Sufficiancy and Supremecy of God's Son Jesus Christ:
Acts 4:12- And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved
1 Corinthians 15:22- For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
1 Timothy 2:5- For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus
Ephesians 2:5- even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
Colossians 2:13- And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
Hebrews 10:12- But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God
Hebrews 10:14- For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified
Hebrews 12:2- looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
1 John 1:7- But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
The Sufficiency and Singularity of God's Gospel:
Romans 1:16- For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
Ephesians 2:8-9- For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. ( God's salvation, His gospel)
Galations 1:6-9- I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. (Gospel is unchanging and people who pervert it are accursed)
Revelation 14:6- Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people.
The Sufficiancy and Supremecy of Gods Word:
Ephesians 1:13- In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
2 Timothy 3:16- All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness
2 Timothy 3:15- and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
1 Peter 1:23- since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God
James 1:18- Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
The Sufficiency and Security of Being a Child of God:
John 6:37- All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.
John 10:27-30- 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”
Romans 8:35- Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?(Gods unconditional love)
Romans 11:2- God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel?
