A Word For Weary Soldiers
Scripture Passage:
2 Timothy 2:11-13 Attached audio files:
- A Word of Confidence (2 Timothy 2:11It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
See All...) - He Has Died For Us (1 Peter 2:24Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
See All...; 1 Peter 3:18For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
See All...) - We Have Died With Him (Romans 6:3-8 [3] Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
[4] Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
[5] For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
[6] Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
[7] For he that is dead is freed from sin.
[8] Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
See All...; Matthew 16:25For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
See All...) - We Shall Live With Him (John 14:19Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
See All...) - We Do Live In Him (Galatians 2:20I am crucified with Christ: neverthless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
See All...) - A Word of Challenge (2 Timothy 2:12If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
See All...) - We Are Called to Suffer (2 Timothy 3:12Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
See All...; 1 Peter 2:21For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
See All...) - But If We Suffer For Christ (1 Peter 4:12-16 [12] Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
[13] But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
[14] If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
[15] But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.
[16] Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
See All...) - We Shall Also Reign With Him (Romans 8:16-18 [16] The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
[17] And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
[18] For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
See All...) - A Word of Conviction (2 Timothy 2:12If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
See All...) - We May Choose to Deny Him
- Deny often means to refuse to give to another (1 Kings 2:16And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on.
See All...) - We may refuse to give ourselves or our allegiance to God (Mark 10:28-30 [28] Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
[29] And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,
[30] But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
See All...) NOTE: Of course, ultimate denial is a rejection of Christ as Saviour (Matthew 10:33But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
See All...; Acts 16:30-31 [30] And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? [31] And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
See All...) - He Will Then Deny Us (Jeremiah 5:25Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.
See All...) - A Word of Comfort (2 Timothy 2:13If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
See All...) - We May Even Lose Faith (Numbers 21:4And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
See All...; John 20:24-28 [24] But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. [25] The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the LORD. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. [26] And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. [27] Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. [28] And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.
See All...) - But Christ Abides Faithful (Hebrews 3:1-2 [1] Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
[2] Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
See All...) - He Cannot Deny the Members of His Body (Ephesians 5:30For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
See All...)

Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
