The Word Of God
Is Not Chained
You then, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ
Jesus; and what you have heard from me through many witnesses entrust to
faithful people who will be able to teach others as well. Share in suffering
like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving in the army gets entangled
in everyday affairs; the soldier’s aim is to please the enlisting officer. And
in the case of an athlete, no one is crowned without competing according to the
rules. It is the farmer who does the work who ought to have the first share of
the crops. Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in
all things.
Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of
David – that is my gospel, for which I suffer hardship, even to the point of
being chained like a criminal. But the word of God is not chained. Therefore I
endure everything for the sake of the elect, so that they may also obtain the
salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.
2 Timothy 2:1-10
Each of our lives should spur us on to a lifetime of faithfully
following the Lord. He did it! And by God’s grace, so can we.
You can teach more with your life than
with your lips.
