The ‘IF’ TEST

The ‘IF’ TEST

2 Tim. 2:11-13

It is a faithful saying: [credible and deserving your intense consideration]

IF we died with Him, [left our old life at the Cross]

we will also live with Him; [promised new beginnings now and in the future eternal life]

IF we endure, [don’t give up or give in when our faith is challenged]

we will also reign with Him. [promised eternal rewards]

IF we deny Him, [continually and habitually refuse to acknowledge Him as shown by what we say and how we live]

He will also deny us; [refuse to acknowledge us]

IF we are faithless, [do not endure to the end and ultimately deny Him]

He will remain faithful, [will continue to be true to His Word, His promises and His righteous character]

for He cannot deny Himself. [will not prove Himself to be a liar]

Pray the Word:

Lord, you know our hearts and that our desire is to follow You. We desperately want to pass the ‘IF’ TEST.  In our weak moments, when the reality of our faith in You is challenged – we ask for Your mercy, grace and strength that we don’t fail or fumble or stumble. We trust that You will be faithful to Your promise, and You will see us through.
