Paul gives Timothy instructions for both him and the people of God. Study to show thyself approved. A personal charge to serve the Lord in a purposeful determined focused way. Gods work is great work, calling men to kingdom living is difficult yet nothing is more needed in these last days of God's grace. Athlete's give their all, Fortune 500 companies place great demands on their employees yet Christians who have the highest calling often give the Lord of their salvation their leftovers after a week of secular living. Will you be ashamed in that great day? |
