2 Timothy 2 (The Message)
8-13......... This is a sure thing:
If we die with him, we'll live with him;
If we stick it out with him, we'll rule with him;
If we turn our backs on him, he'll turn his back on us;
If we give up on him, he does not give up—
for there's no way he can be false to himself.
14-18Repeat these basic essentials over and over to God's people.
As they say, there are few things that are certain. Death and Taxes?! Don't believe it, Death is not a sure thing! I'm going to beat Death! How? I've been promised eternal life as a follower of Christ. I will defeat death with the power of Jesus Christ who already defeated death. You can't simplify life any better than this: "If we die with him, we'll live with him; If we stick it out with him, we'll rule with him; If we turn our backs on him, he'll turn his back on us; If we give up on him, he does not give up— for there's no way he can be false to himself."
God has the perfect plan. We are a part of that plan. But, we have two choices, wait on the fullness of this plan in God's time or give up on this plan and go it alone! He gives us that choice. "Choose Wisely!" If we give up on him, he never gives up. He wants nothing more than for everyone to be with him in eternity. He will pursue us, He will pursue us, He will pursue us. "If we die with him, we'll live with him; If we stick it out with him, we'll rule with him; If we turn our backs on him, he'll turn his back on us; If we give up on him, he does not give up— for there's no way he can be false to himself."
Why make it more complicated than it needs to be. The Bible is filled with wonderful wisdom from God. It is THE roadmap for life. But, it's not complicated, This message from Paul proves it. The message is clear, simple, and pure: "If we die with him, we'll live with him; If we stick it out with him, we'll rule with him; If we turn our backs on him, he'll turn his back on us; If we give up on him, he does not give up— for there's no way he can be false to himself."
We have to repeat these lines to ourselves. We need to repeat these lines to our friends, We need to repeat these lines to our families.We need to live these lines with our lives!
Dear Lord, Thank you for such a simple message, wisdom for eternal life. Help us to remember this message. We want to live with you in paradise. Help us to share this message. Help us to live our lives for you. We Love you Lord and are humbled by your love for us. Amen!
