1 Timothy 4:9-10 - 1599 Geneva Bible
9 This is a true saying, and by all means worthy to be
received.10 For therefore we labor and are rebuked, because we trust in the living God, which is the Savior of all men, specially of those that believe.
Lord, today is going to be a good day that you have given me. I will read and study your word this morning, and seek to live up to it. - Amen
Brethren:
We do indeed serve a LIVING God. One who was tempted and triumphed over all of those temptations. In the garden wherein he wast betrayed – He triumphed. When brought before Pilate – He triumphed. When He was crucified – He triumphed. When death took Him – He triumphed by rising again to be the Savior of all men. - R.P. Woitowitz Sr.
“That is, of entire credit, and of the most earnest and continued attention and regard. For, therefore — On this account, because we are assured of the excellence and necessity of this godliness, and of the advantages attending it in time and in eternity; we both labour and suffer reproach — Take all manner of pains, and undergo all kinds of hardships, regarding neither wealth, nor honour, nor pleasure, nor any thing this world can offer; because we trust — ηλπικαμεν, we have trusted, and at present do trust, (the word denoting continuation of action,) in the living God — Rest on him for the performance of his promises, fully persuaded he will give the life and felicity he has promised; who is the Saviour of all men — Saving them from many evils, and supplying them with manifold mercies; preserving them in this life, and willing to save them eternally; but especially — In a more eminent manner, is he the Saviour of those that believe — Saving them from their sins here, and from the consequences of them hereafter. These things command and teach — For they are of infinite importance.” - Joseph Benson
