You must preach and teach the Word of God, the Holy Scripture:
2 Timothy 4:1
1 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge:
2 Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.
Acts 18:11
11 So Paul stayed for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God.
As a beleiver, the eyes of God and of Christ are watching you. You are (ever) before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ. Why? To see if you are preaching the Word of God. note 2 Tim 4:1-2 above. This is exactly what is being said. The thrust of this great passage is the two previous verses:
2 Timothy 3:16
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Therefore, “I charge you…preach the word” you must preach the Word, for God and Christ are watching: their eyes are upon you. You are not to be preaching your own ideas nor the ideas of other men. The message of the gospel is not the message of human philosophy, psychology, sociology or education. It is not the message of self-image and personal development. As a result as these subjects may be, they are not the gospel; they are not the Word of God.
What is the Word of God?
The Word is the glorious gospel of our salvation. The Word is the Scripture which we hold in our hands and study and teach to all who will listen and heed. The Word of God is…
2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Romans 5:1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
Ephesians 2:4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
