TIMOTHY 2:13 (AMPC)
MOST
FAITHFUL TRUSTEE
If we
are faithless [do not believe and are untrue to Him],
He
remains true (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
and trust 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. His blood serves as the soap of His
love to clean us from all unrighteousness.
Have you entrusted your life
and your future to the only One who is completely trustworthy and faithful? Have
you named Jesus as the sole trustee over everything you are, everything you
have, and everything you hope to be? 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.
