“Work Hard So God Can Say To
You, “Well Done.” Be a good workman, one who does not need to be ashamed
when God examines your work. Know what his Word says and means. Steer clear of foolish discussions that lead
people into the sin of anger with each other. Things will be said that will burn and hurt
for a long time to come.”
To: ALL
WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR
From: GOD THE FATHER, THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, The Helper, that He may be
with you forever. [John 14:16]
Subject: MY WORD; John 1:1 (NKJV) 1 In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 (NKJV) 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,
and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full
of grace and truth.
2 Timothy 2:1–7 (The Living Bible) 1 O Timothy, my son, be strong with
the strength Christ Jesus gives you. 2 For you must teach others those things you and many others have heard
me speak about. Teach these great truths to trustworthy men who will, in turn,
pass them on to others. 3 Take your share of suffering as a good
soldier of Jesus Christ, just as I do; 4 and as Christ’s soldier, do
not let yourself become tied up in worldly affairs, for then you cannot satisfy
the one who has enlisted you in his army. 5 Follow the Lord’s rules
for doing his work, just as an athlete either follows the rules or is
disqualified and wins no prize. 6 Work hard like a farmer who gets
paid well if he raises a large crop. 7 Think over these three
illustrations, and may the Lord help you to understand how they apply to you.
2 Timothy 2:8–18 (The Living Bible)8 Don’t ever forget the wonderful fact that Jesus Christ was a man,
born into King David’s family; and that he was God, as shown by the fact that
he rose again from the dead. 9 It is because I have preached these
great truths that I am in trouble here and have been put in jail like a
criminal. But the Word of God is not chained, even though I am. 10 I
am more than willing to suffer if that will bring salvation and eternal glory
in Christ Jesus to those God has chosen. 11 I am comforted by this truth, that when we suffer and die for Christ it
only means that we will begin living with him in heaven. 12 And
if we think that our present service for him is hard, just remember that some
day we are going to sit with him and rule with him. But if we give up when we
suffer, and turn against Christ, then he must turn against us. 13 Even when we are too weak to have any faith
left, he remains faithful to us and will help us, for he cannot disown us who
are part of himself, and he will always carry out his promises to us. 14
Remind your people of these great facts, and command them in the name of the
Lord not to argue over unimportant things. Such arguments are confusing and
useless and even harmful. 15 Work
hard so God can say to you, “Well done.” Be a good workman, one who does
not need to be ashamed when God examines your work. Know what his Word says and
means. 16 Steer clear of
foolish discussions that lead people into the sin of anger with each other.
17 Things will be said that will burn and hurt for a long time to
come. Hymenaeus and Philetus, in their love of argument, are men like that. 18
They have left the path of truth, preaching the lie that the resurrection of
the dead has already occurred; and they have weakened the faith of some who
believe them.
2 Timothy 2:19–26 (NASB95) 19
Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are His,” and,
“Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness.” 20
Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also
vessels of wood and of earthenware, and some to honor and some to dishonor. 21
Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things, he will be a
vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good
work. 22 Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness,
faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure
heart. 23 But refuse foolish and ignorant speculations, knowing that
they produce quarrels. 24 The
Lord’s bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach,
patient when wronged, 25 with gentleness correcting those who are in
opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge
of the truth, 26 and they may come to their senses and escape
from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.
2 Timothy 3:1–5 (The Living Bible) 1 You may as well know this
too, Timothy, that in the last days it is going to be very difficult to be a
Christian. 2 For people will love only themselves and their money;
they will be proud and boastful, sneering at God, disobedient to their parents,
ungrateful to them, and thoroughly bad. 3 They will be hardheaded
and never give in to others; they will be constant liars and troublemakers and
will think nothing of immorality. They will be rough and cruel, and sneer at
those who try to be good. 4 They will betray their friends; they
will be hotheaded, puffed up with pride, and prefer good times to worshiping
God. 5 They will go to
church, yes, but they won’t really believe anything they hear. Don’t be taken
in by people like that.
[Please Note: Always Read the
Word of God in Context, reading the entire chapter or book, asking the Holy
Spirit of the Living God to give you the interpretation. 2 Peter 1:16–21 (Williams) 16 For it was not mere stories of fancy
that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He
received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory
there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom
I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven
while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the
message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a
lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning
star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above
all else, that no prophecy in Scripture
is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has
ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit
spoke from God.]
Philippians 2:9–11 (The Living
Bible)9 Yet it was because of this that God raised
him up to the heights of heaven and gave him a name which is above every other
name, 10 that at the name of
Jesus every knee shall bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11
and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God
the Father.
