TIMOTHY 2:13 (AMPC)
MOST
FAITHFUL ONE
If we
are faithless
[do not believe and are untrue to Him],
[do not believe and are untrue to Him],
He
remains true
(faithful to His Word
and His righteous character),
(faithful to His Word
and His righteous character),
for He
cannot deny Himself.
Jesus must remain true to His word because He is the Word
made flesh (John 1:14) and the embodiment of truth. John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto
him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but
by me.” Jesus also said, “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make
you free.” He Himself is the Truth we must know in order to be set free from
sin and death.
The Lord has promised that those who believe in, trust in,
rely on Jesus will be given eternal life and dwell with Him forever. He cannot
and will not break His promise to His children. Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt
confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that
God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Jesus promises us that
He will hold on to us and never let us go: John 10:27-28 “My sheep hear my
voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life;
and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.”
Sadly, the opposite is also true. If one lacks faith,
refuses to believe, and does not trust Jesus, then Jesus will deny him or her.
He cannot deny His own holiness by giving eternal life to someone who has never
followed Him and been cleansed by the blood of His sacrifice as the final
perfect Lamb of God.
Have you entrusted your life and your future to the only
One who is completely trustworthy and faithful? If not, today could be the day
Jesus changes your life forever. If you have surrendered your will to His, one
day I will meet you joyfully in our forever home where the Lamb of Glory will
reign in majesty.
