Truly, in our quest to be living for God’s glory, there are things that are still vague. Likewise, maybe it’s true to say that learning is a life-long process. We learn new things everyday.
The 2nd Book of Timothy somewhat works as explanatory devise to check on any long-time Christians of all truth behind the basic.
Since the start of my reading of this book, I was fascinated by several mistakes that I am still in that I am not aware. One instance is in his chapter of 2Timothy, where it was cited that taking a form of godliness but denying its power is actually a sin.
Sad to say, a lot of times, I have denied the power of God through inhibitions, fear and diffidence in declaring His glory through sharing His gospel. I am totally rebuked by this passage that tells of “denying the power of God”.
It is true that along the way, as we pursue good works and instructions of the Lord, God is always there with us that we always have the power to overcome anything. When we share the gospel, we are enabled by the power of the Holy Spirit and we should rely on that. Because everytime we do not do, we deny the power and therefore, we sin.
May it be a learning that God’s words is His own breath that enables us to teach, rebuke, correct and train into righteousness and so make us equipped with good works always. His word is our power, that in any weakness we encounter, His words and promises will be our strength. There may be persecutions, and that is expected in pursuing godly life in Christ Jesus. But take courage, He is with us always!
