Bible Note: Could some of our suffering be from the unpleasantness of the correcting hand of God? (See again Heb 12:11) 'Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity."' 2 Tim 2:19. Therefore, we choose to depart from sin and so be useful to the Master. "Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work." 2 Tim 2:21 |
