“The saying is trustworthy, for: If we have died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us; if we are faithless, he remains faithful — for he cannot deny himself.“ -2 Timothy 2:11–13

Every day together, we get a taste of Gospel goodness from the Word of God. There is always something. That is the richness of Scripture—that Christ is always present and glorified in it. Today is no exception.

If you are in Jesus, if you believe in him as your Savior, your sins have died with him. Now you also live with him, with purpose to know him and run after him. He causes us to endure as we rely on him, bringing us to reign with him. Don't deny or you will be denied. But in his goodness, if we are faithless—if we don't get it all the time—he remains faithful.

We can't fully articulate or fathom the depth of this Gospel truth. Being free from sin, fully covered and forgiven by Jesus' blood, we have not just a second chance but a whole new life and the promise of eternity. Oh, so good is this news!

But let us today rest in the faithfulness of Jesus. When we are not at the top of our game, when we are discouraged, unsure, anxious, fearful, or whatever, Jesus remains faithful because he is true to himself. He can't go back on his character. Jesus remains faithful to care for and keep you through the storms and the uncertainty of life.

Today, cling to him, run to Jesus, cry out to him, and know that he is faithful.
