Timothy 1:8-12
Our
Suffering is Our Path to Victory!
2Ti 1:8 Be not thou therefore
ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou
partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
2Ti 1:9 Who hath saved us, and
called us with an holy calling, not
according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was
given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
2Ti 1:10 But is now made manifest
by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and
hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
2Ti 1:11 Whereunto I am appointed
a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
2Ti 1:12 For the which cause I
also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have
believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed
unto him against that day.
- If You
are Trusting In Christ Than You Have Nothing to be Ashamed of. – vs. 8*
- Become
a partaker in the suffering of your fellow believers; knowing that you
are assured of the out come.

Have the Privilege of Standing Shoulder to Shoulder with Greatest Men and

is short you can waste it resenting the things you suffered and missed
out on, or you can run it like a race. A race to the glorious crown that
God is longing to give to you.
