Victory In Christ

“You can trust these words: If we were joined with him in his death, then we are joined with him in his life! If we are joined with him in his sufferings, then we will reign together with him in his triumph. But if we disregard him, then he will also disregard us. But even if we are faithless, he will still be full of faith, for he never wavers in his faithfulness to us! Be committed to teach the believers all these things when you are with them in the presence of the Lord. Instruct them to never be drawn into meaningless arguments, or tear each other down with useless words that only harm others. Always be eager to present yourself before God as a perfect and mature minister, without shame, as one who correctly explains the Word of Truth. And avoid empty chatter and worthless words, for they simply add to the irreverence of those who converse in that manner. But the firm foundation of God has written upon it these two inscriptions: ‘The Lord God recognizes those who are truly His’ and, ‘Everyone who worships the Name of the Lord Jesus must forsake wickedness!’”~~ 2 Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭11‬-‭16‬, ‭19‬ ‭(TPT‬‬).
