....be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus.... (2 Timothy 2:1)
Oh man, this verse is like music to my ears! Paul says to be strengthened by grace!
He doesn't say to be strengthened by your own self effort, or be strengthened by your amazing prayer life. He doesn't say be strengthened by your fasting or knowledge of Scripture. He says be strengthened by grace!
What is grace? It is undeserved kindness.
In other words: We should be strengthened by the fact that even though we deserve to go to hell, God sent His Son Jesus to pay the price for our sin as a free gift! Be strengthened by that! We can easily forget about grace.
Its pretty amazing that the thing that saves us, is the same thing that strengthens us; grace!
Grace is so amazing! Thank you Jesus! I needed to hear that!
