Committed Paul - TC

Devotion: 2 Timothy 1:1-12

"for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day"

How was Paul committed to the Testimony for our Lord? 

The Apostle Paul cultivated in Timothy things that he had in his own life that were the essentials of the ministry of Christ.  Commitment is one of those essentials.  

Paul said that commitment is not afraid, but powerful, with passionate in the Love of Christ and knows how to think clearly with Biblical vision by the work of the Spirit of God. commitment is not ashamed even when tried and tested. 

It stands under pressure and adversity easily. Satan’s work of attrition is fruitless on a committed saint.  When he is week, then he is strong.  Commitment is not aimless living.  It is filled with calling and purpose that draws one with ambition and excitement about being a part of God’s Work.  That is all because our commitment is not to works, outcomes, people, personal gain, or worldly visions.

Real commitment is in Christ who is the author and finisher of our faith.  

Long after our body is weak with age and wear, and all the resources of our life are exhausted, It is and will be Christ who will live in us and do though us the greatest things of our lifetime for His Glory.
