“For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: 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.” (2 Timothy 1:12 KJV)
What is the source of our confidence? When we face difficulties how do we continue to go in the manner that God has called us? Paul is facing death and is imprisoned for the cause of the Gospel. He has trusted his life, his soul, and eternal interests, to the Lord Jesus. No one else could deliver and secure his soul through the trials of life and death. This trust and faith is what has allowed him to say that he is not ashamed , there is no regret or second thoughts. Why? He has the surety of the one in whom he has placed his full confidence. He has a full knowledge of Christ , His purpose and His power. This is more than a mere intellectual understanding, but literally to see and have a relationship with. This knowledge and conviction provides the confidence that empowers Paul (and should also be for us) to have the hope to continue in ministry and the assurance of life and life eternal. Do you know Jesus? Are you persuaded by His Word, work, and Holy Spirit. What is the result in your life? Do not be ashamed or fearful in the situation of today, but have the confidence that He who has called you will keep you until the day when you will see Him in he apostle had trusted his life, his soul, and eternal interests, to the Lord Jesus. No one else could deliver and secure his soul through the trials of life and death.
