A Trustworthy Saying

 (ID: 3042)

Sometimes a hymn can help us understand important Gospel truths. In 2 Timothy 2, the apostle Paul quoted a hymn that was sung by the early church, using it to present four key points about a believer’s relationship to the Lord Jesus. Alistair Begg explains how these four points demonstrate that God is faithful to both His promises and His warnings. Both call us to repent and believe in Him.

11The saying is qtrustworthy, for:

rIf we have died with him, we will also slive with him;

12tif we endure, we will also reign with him;

uif we deny him, he also will deny us;

13vif we are faithless, whe remains faithful—

for xhe cannot deny himself.
