NASB | 2 Timothy 1:12 For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Timothy 1:12 This is why I suffer as I do. Still, I am not ashamed; for I know Him [and I am personally acquainted with Him] whom I have believed [with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in the truth of His deity], and I am persuaded [beyond any doubt] that He is able to guard that which I have entrusted to Him until that day [when I stand before Him]. [1 Cor 1:8, 3:13; Phil 1:6] |

Bible Note: Here’s a little news for you. David was saved by the blood of Jesus, not by the blood of lambs, and certainly not by keeping the commandments. Just like every son of Adam and daughter of Eve since The Fall. If David, or anybody before Christ could have been saved by works, then heaven will be a lot emptier. You see, Christianity is not a new religion. Christ is not a new God. True Christianity is the continuation of the Jewish religion. Just as the Jewish religion was the continuation of the Patriarchs religion. And the Patriarchs religion was a continuation of Noah’s religion, and Noah’s religion was a continuation of Adam’s religion. There’s no “new” way to be saved. Christ has always been The Way. Secondly, God has a limit. He will not go against our Freedom of Choice. If I, who am saved, choose to be lost (may it never be), then He will not stop me. If we don’t have freedom of choice, then this whole sin thing has been just a big experiment by God. Like a child with an ant hill and a magnifying glass. But God is not that way. The, dear Mark, though you may be saved can choose to be lost. And God will honor your choice. |
