Bible Text

2 Timothy 1:8-9

8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, 9 who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began.

Reflection & Application

  • How can Apostle Paul so confidently ask Timothy to “share in suffering for the gospel”?

  • In what ways am I “ashamed of the testimony about our LORD” or ashamed to “share in suffering for the gospel”?

  • To what has God called those whom he has saved, and in what ways have I responded to this call?

  • How does the fact that I have been saved “not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace” affect my attitude toward my life?
