Hi Huck, First, Paul remembers the genuine faith that was planted in him and nourished through his mother Eunice, and his grandmother, Lois. Acts 16:1 tells us that his father may not have been a believer. Then Paul urges and prompts Timothy to his duty, He exhorts him to stir up the gift of evangelism that God has already given to him. As in, stirring up the coals so the flame may become visible. The greatest drawback towards our usefulness in the spreading of the Gospel is being a slave to fear. Paul then urges Timothy against this, by explaining, God hath not given us the spirit of fear, v. 7. The spirit which God has given to his ministers is a courageous spirit; which holds within it power, so they speak in His mighty name who has all power in heaven and earth; and it is a spirit of love, for love to God and the for men must spark in ministers a desire for their service; and it is a spirit of a sound mind, as they speak the words of truth and righteousness. Timothy was then told not to be afraid of suffering, or ashamed of good old Paul, who was now suffering in chains. We are not to be ashamed either of the testimony of our Lord or of his apostles for if we are ashamed now, Christ will be ashamed of us before His Father. Consider Paul's, example. As he was appointed to preach the gospel, and especially to teach the Gentiles, he thought it was a cause worthwhile to suffer for, and why should we not be of this mind? The Holy Spirit indwells all good ministers and Christians. We are Christ's church, the Body of which He is head, therefore the temple of His Holy Spirit and we are enabled through Him to keep the gospel pure and undefiled, and yet we must use our best efforts to keep it for the help and presence of the Holy Spirit not to be excluding our personal efforts, but they must be together in all phases of operation. May He bless you as you go forth in His mighty name. Tim |

Huckabee-- I have no idea where the trouble may be .... as the verse is self explanatory...however the word "immortality" may be interpreted as "incorruptibility". Salvation is in 3 tenses; 1--The Christian has been saved from the quilt and penalty of sin. 1 Cor.1:18 2--The Christain is being saved from the habit and dominion of sin. Rom6:14 3--The Christian will be saved at the Lord's return, from bodily infirmities that are the result of sin(s)and God's curse upon the sinful world. 1 Cor. 15:42-44 Salvation is a free gift by grace through faith So by reading that verse and substituting "incorruptibility" for immortality the verse means much more as because of His sacrifice we are able to be saved and HIs son(s) |
