God's Divine Provision
2 Timothy 1:7-10
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love and self-discipline.
So you must never be ashamed to tell others about the Lord, Jesus Christ. And don't be ashamed of me, either, even though I'm in prison for Christ. With the strength God gives you, be ready to suffer with me for the proclamation of the Good News.
It is God who saved us and chose us to live a holy life. He did this not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan long before the world began- to show his love and kindness to us through Christ Jesus.
And now he has made all of this plain to us by the coming of Christ Jesus, our saviour, who broke the power of death and showed us the way to everlasting life through the Good News.
The Promise
Hebrews 10:31 - 39
It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Don't ever forget those early days when you first learned about Christ. Remember how you remained faithful even though it meant terrible suffering. Sometimes, you were exposed to public ridicule and were beaten, and sometimes you helped helped others who were suffering the same things. You suffered along with those were thrown into jail. when all you owned was taken from you, you accepted it with joy. You knew you had better things waiting for you in eternity.
Do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord, no matter what happens. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so you will continue to do God's will. Then, you will receive all that he has promised.
'For in just a little while, the Coming One will come and not delay. And a righteous person will live by faith. But I will have no pleasure in anyone who turns away.'
But we are not like those who turn their backs on God and seal their fate. We have faith that assures our salvation.
