God’s Truth for Trying Times - 8/18/20

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 ‭4:8‬ ‭‬‬

“Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.”

‭‭(2 Timothy‬ ‭4:8‬)

CONSIDER: The beautiful reward of every faithful believer, whom God has allowed to persevere because God has strengthened them to persevere, is the crown of righteousness, the blessing of Christ and his imputed, credited righteousness. It is reserved for everyone loves Christ.

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?
