2 Timothy 2:1-8 | Remember
This morning we observe the foundation of our faith, that we should remember Jesus Christ risen from the dead, and:
be strengthened,
pass on the gospel,
know your integrity matters,
that he rewards faithfulness.
Enoggera Baptist Church — Sunday Sermon
Ps Mike Westhuyzen • 2 Timothy 2:1-8
This morning we observe the foundation of our faith, that we should remember Jesus Christ risen from the dead, and:
be strengthened,
pass on the gospel
know your integrity matters
that he rewards faithfulness.
When Paul says in 2 Timothy, ‘be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus (v1)’, it’s important to note the futility in earthly striving to attain strength, but to rely on the incalculable strength of Jesus.
We are called to ‘entrust to faithful men (v2)’ that what we have learnt, so that they too will pass on the Gospel message.
Our integrity matters because to corruptly try to grow the kingdom of God, does not honour God. While we have all fallen short, we know that Christ died for us.
Things that we do are not unseen, whether our generosity, self denial in love, or kind act, or else harsh words, selfishness or unkindness. Jesus is not unjust as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown in his name.
