Meaning

When the Bible says to "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine," it is emphasizing the importance of sharing the teachings of the Bible with others consistently and faithfully. The phrase "be instant in season, out of season" means that we should always be ready and willing to share the word of God, whether it is convenient or not. We are called to reprove, rebuke, and exhort with patience and sound teaching, showing love and compassion towards others even when correcting them. This verse serves as a reminder to believers to be diligent in spreading the message of the Gospel, even when faced with challenges or opposition. By following this command, we can effectively fulfill the Great Commission and make disciples of all nations, as instructed by Jesus.
