God’s Truth for Trying Times - 7/14/20

We need God’s truth in trying times. Read the Scripture passage, think about what it is saying, then pray; by yourself or with your household. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly (Col. 3:16).

READ: 2 Timothy‬ ‭1:1-2‬ ‭‬‬

“Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God according to the promise of the life that is in Christ Jesus, To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.”

‭‭(2 Timothy‬ ‭1:1-2‬)

CONSIDER: Paul was an apostle by God’s will, God’s sovereign choice. It was in line with the promise of eternal life God has made in Christ. He is writing to his spiritual son Timothy. His opening salutation pronounces a blessing of grace, mercy, and peace from God almighty.

THINK: What does this declare about God? What are God’s people being called to do? What assurance is given? How does the Word of God transform our hearts and lives and relationships?
