II Timothy 3:12 “In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.” Defending God’s truth will result in controversy. The seemingly simple topics of when life begins, the family and problem solving, what is important in this life, fame vs. humility, who is the only true God, and other similar topics are all addressed in the Bible. Why man insists on skewing the truth and defiling God is beyond foolishness. Defend your Savior always–no matter the cost.

II Timothy 2:15 “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” God’s instruction to all of us is to be diligent representatives of truth. Be bold in confessing to others His absolute truth. Study His Word so that we know what absolute truth is. How blessed we are to be loved and adopted children of God.

II Timothy 2:3 “Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” Wouldn’t you think that as a faithful follower of Jesus we would have a life of pleasure, comfort and enjoyment? We would if this life was Heaven, but it is far from Heaven. This world is full of corruption, earthly ruinous desire and those who are set on either denying Jesus or destroying those who are faithful to him. Why? The force of the devil is very strong. You and I, like soldiers are constantly involved in a battle. Our responsibility is to be strong, represent our Savior and spread His truth as we travel on our journey to live with our Savior forever.

II Timothy 1:14 “Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.” Paul knew the extreme value of God’s words of absolute truth. He wanted Timothy to place that same value on God’s truths and he also knew the Holy Spirit would help Timothy defend and expose that truth to others. God is telling you and me that same thought. Spread the Gospel and don’t be afraid to do so. The Holy Spirit lives within you and me also.

II Timothy 1:10 “but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.” Only God could both destroy death and bring immortality. What a privilege and joy it is for you and me to have as our best friend our Jesus who brings us life and immortality. That thought has got to make our day–or should we say–our life!! Have a great weekend.
