Our Faithful One

Here is a trustworthy saying:
If we died with him,
we will also live with him;
if we endure,
we will also reign with him.
If we disown him,
he will also disown us;
if we are faithless,
he will remain faithful,
for he cannot disown himself. (2 Timothy 2:11-13)

Recently, I have meditated on this verse and I would also invite you to meditate this verse. It is amazing how God is faithful even if we are faithless.
This saying is indeed trustworthy...
When we died with Messiah, He has crucified our sinful nature with Him on the cross so that we can live freely again.

"God made Jesus who had no sin to be sin (or 'a sin offering') for us, so that in him we might
become the righteousness of God." (2 Corinthians 5:21)

It is only through the death of Christ that we are set free from sin and death. In that, we take hope for when the body dies, our hope is that we will see Yeshua as He is and we will be like Him

"Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we
know that when he appears[1] we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is."
(1 John 3:2)

Then surely with this hope, we do our best to endure the hardships with Messiah whereby if we keep pressing on and not let go, we will reign with Him.
However, in the process of this life, if we disown Him, obviously as a faithful God, He will forgive you your sins and your rebellion but if you really disown Him very very very seriously, then... I hope you will repent and fast to gain favour in God's eyes again.
And here is the bomb...

if we are faithless,
he will remain faithful,
for he cannot disown himself. (v13)

When we lose faith, Yeshua is still the faithful One! Why? Simple, because He cannot disown Himself. If we are faithless and He becomes faithless, then, who are we to hold on to??
If He becomes faithless, the universe will just rot in a snap because, He is the sustainer of the universe! If you meditate more on it, you will understand that faith is part of the essence of God. He is faith and if you are down or depressed, look to Him. satan wants you to let you think that your problems are larger than God but if you ignore your problem and start looking towards God, you will find that He is still keeping you in His hands. And not only you but the whole world!


Shalom uveracha b'shem Yeshua Ha Messiah!
Peace and blessings in (the) name (of) Jesus the Messiah!
