If We Disown, He Disowns, 2 Timothy 2:12b

If We Disown, He Disowns

2 Timothy 2:12b  If we disown him, he will also disown us

This is not the teaching in most churches today. The common thought is that once you are saved, it doesn't matter what you do, you're still a Christian. Once you're in, you're in. After all, once saved, always saved, nothing can take you out of his hands, nothing. But there are plenty of verses throughout the Bible, in both the Old and New, which show or specifically mention that if we have become his children but later reject him, God will reject us. This is one of those verses. A similar thought that comes to mind is how we treat others. Christ says, If we do not forgive others, he will not forgive us, and it is explained in the parable of the unforgiving servant. Jesus also says, If you deny me before men I will deny you before my father. 

K and A, the Word is clear. you cannot be a Christian in church circles then deny Christ among your peers. You cannot praise like a saint in church, then go out and swear like a sinner among the world. Remember also, that it is possible to deny Jesus with your lifestyle as well with your lips. It is not just what you say, but also how you live. Your life speaks volumes. Sadly, you will find most people do not understand this either. But you, be different. let your life announce your faith in him in every circumstance others find you. then Christ will lift you up before his Father and you will be accepted into the Kingdom.
