The repeated words 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱, 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱, 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵, 𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗹 𝗼𝗻𝗲 in these passages make them worth studying deeply.

Behind the truth is the seriousness of Jesus’ prayer to sanctify, or set apart, His followers from the evil world and dedicate their whole lives to His purpose.

Behind the truth is the indwelling righteousness of Christ that produces holiness—a holiness that the world (kosmos) cannot give.

Behind the truth is also an invitation for every Christian to seriously consider the truth of the cross. After Jesus prayed, He offered His life on the cross for the sins of mankind, fulfilling the mission for which He came into the world.

Behind the truth is the promise that Jesus will come again for the righteous, so that they may live with Him forever. Therefore, the truth is not merely something we know; it is something that sanctifies our lives, separates us from the ways of the world, protects us from the evil one, and prepares us for Christ’s return.

__________

But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves. I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
— John 17:13-19, NASB

1 Timothy 2:1 teaches children that prayer is not only about asking God for things for ourselves. Paul encouraged Timothy to pray for everyone, bringing their needs, thanksgiving, and requests before God.

And so, as part of the lesson, the children wrote their own prayers for others on their worksheets. This helped them understand that we can pray for our family, friends, teachers, and other people who may need God’s help.

__________

First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men,

And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

In 2 Timothy 1: 8-12, Paul told Timothy not to be ashamed to suffer for his faith and for the gospel. Timothy had first received this sincere faith from his grandmother Lois and his mother Eunice (2 Timothy 1:5). Paul also suffered for the gospel—the testimony about Jesus. He said that he was appointed as a herald, an apostle, and a teacher of the gospel.

In 2 Timothy 2:8–10, Paul reminds Timothy that 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁, who was raised from the dead, is 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗹 and brings salvation to all who believe.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗹?

𝙎𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙮 𝙤𝙗𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙨𝙖𝙡𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝘾𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙩
Paul was willing to endure suffering so that others could hear the gospel and receive salvation through Jesus Christ.

𝙏𝙤 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙛𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙖𝙨 𝙂𝙤𝙙'𝙨 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚.
Believers are called to turn away from evil deeds, false teachings, and anything that leads them away from God.

𝙏𝙤 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙤𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙥𝙪𝙧𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙚.
When we live faithfully and keep ourselves from evil, we can be used by God for His purposes and become instruments for doing good.

Therefore, suffering for the gospel is not meaningless. It is part of faithfully following Christ and helping others know the salvation that is found in Him.

__________

You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier. Also if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not win the prize unless he competes according to the rules. The hard-working farmer ought to be the first to receive his share of the crops. Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.
Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descendant of David, according to my gospel, for which I suffer hardship even to imprisonment as a criminal; but the word of God is not imprisoned. For this reason I endure all things for the sake of those who are chosen, so that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus and with it eternal glory.
— 2 Timothy 2:1-10, NASB
