Thoughts for another day
August 5, 2010
Today's verse: 2 Tim. 2:11-13. It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)
We have this guarantee in Jesus Christ that He is always with us for He said it Himself. And Jesus will stick to what He said and since God’s Words never change, we take them as promises and even Jesus wanted that our words remain unalterable, when He said, ‘Let your ‘yes’ be ‘yes’ and your ‘no’ be ‘no’. So since we have the Promises of God shall I say that whatever we have in His Word is rock solid and even heaven and earth may pass away; yet His Word will remain. Believe this for it is good unto eternal life.
As Christians, followers of our Lord and Master Jesus Christ, we also believe in His faithfulness for we have this assurance that Paul talks about in today’s Scripture that if we be dead with Him, we shall also live with Him. Were He to send us suffering to test us that we be found pure as gold, and if we bear that suffering and pass the test, then we shall also be crowned as kings along with Him in His Kingdom. Now, there may be a few who deny Him. Yes there are those like that and if that denial comes on the spur of the moment like it did with Peter, we can rest assured that our repentance will again bring us close to Him; but if our denial is from the heart although our lips will say something else, then He will deny us.
If life, we may undergo many trials and they may be quite heavy to bear despite our good relationship with Him and they may lead us to unbelief. Even then He, The Faithful One, The Only Lord God of the universe, will show Himself faithful in our situation and eventually bring us out of the trial for we know that He allows no trial to us but that which is humanly possible to bear and even with that He gives us the Grace so we do not succumb to it. Yes, God is our guarantee in attaining the goals we have set for His Kingdom and He is faithful in all His Word.
