Scripture: 2 Timothy 2: 8-13
Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel, for which I am suffering even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But God’s word is not chained. Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.
Here is a trustworthy saying:
If we died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us; if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself.
Scripture Commentary: Beloved, remain faithful! Jesus was raised from the dead for you!
In Timothy’s day, many asserted that Christ was divine but not human; God, but not man. After all, He was raised from the dead.
The truth that Jesus is one person with two united natures has never been easy to understand. But people believe.
God promises that someday we will live eternally with Him.
What does this mean? It means believers will live in Christ’s kingdom, and will share in the administration of that kingdom.
Are you facing hardships? Don’t turn away from God. He promises you a wonderful future with Him. Jesus is faithful. He will stay by your side even when you have endured so much that you seem to have no faith left.
Jesus Christ loves us all!
