God’s Truth for Trying Times - 7/25/20

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 ‭2:10‬ ‭‬‬

“Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.”

‭‭(2 Timothy‬ ‭2:10‬)

CONSIDER: Paul bears up under hardships for the sake of preaching the gospel to all, knowing it will reach the elect. There is joy in seeing people come to faith in Christ and growing in their relationship with him. God saved and sanctifies according to his gracious sovereign will.

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?
