The Lord's grace is a theme throughout the entire Bible. Grace was at the core of who Paul was as he gave his final advice to Timothy in this Book. Here he shows Timothy that grace is often shown intergenerationally. God is faithful to His Covenant from generation to generation, as was illustrated in Timothy's mother and grandmother. God's grace was also planned before the foundations of the world. He chose us in Christ because of undeserved grace, and this grace was embodied in all its splendor when Christ came into this world as our Savior.
God, in His grace, has given us the Gospel. And when we share the sound words of the Gospel with others, it is the loving thing to do. Since we know what we believe, we cannot help telling others and declaring what is right and wrong to the "woke culture" all around us. But only God's grace can make us strong. If we're saved by grace, we're called to live boldly by grace. |
