2 Timothy 2:11-13 - (GNVT)
11 It is a true saying, For if we be dead together with him: we also shall live together with him.12 If we suffer, we shall also reign together with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us.
13 If we believe not, yet abideth he faithful: he cannot deny himself.
Father, thank You for another day, help me to make it profitable to myself, and to those that I share Your word with – amen
Brethren:
Paul sayest herein that to die to self, and the carnal world, we shall also rise from the dead and live with Christ eternally with Him. If we are persecuted for His name's sake, so shall we reign with Him eternally. If we deny Him, we deny the Father as well, who will have no part in us in the coming kingdom. Those that believe we receive the promises made of the Father. He cannot deny Himself for He hath sworn an oath upon His own name of which there is none higher. -R.P. Woitowitz
“There is also a twofold living with him, by a rising again to a newness of life and hereafter in glory, which latter is here intended. If we suffer, we shall also reign with him; that is, if we suffer for his name’s sake, for a constant owning and adherence to his doctrine of faith, or discharge of any trust he hath reposed in us, we shall reign with him in glory. If we deny him, he also will deny us; but if we, upon prospect of danger, deny his truth, or desert the profession of him, he in the day of judgment will not own us before his Father and the holy angels, If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful; whether we believe or believe not, or whether we be faithful to our trust or be not, yet God will show himself faithful, either to his promises made to them that believe, or to his threatenings denounced against those that believe not. He cannot deny himself; for it is impossible that he who is truth itself should be otherwise, that were for him to deny himself.” - Matthew Poole
