ENDURING

REFERENCE
2 Tim 2:10 [ESV] Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
2 Tim 2:10 [Message] That’s why I stick it out here—so that everyone God calls will get in on the salvation of Christ in all its glory.
2 Tim 2:10 [NLT] So I am willing to endure anything if it will bring salvation and eternal glory in Christ Jesus to those God has chosen.

EXPLORATION
In this chapter of 2 Timothy, Paul exhorts Timothy to be a “good solider”. He exhorts him to follow his example, and to endure everything, to endure anything, that will in return lead God’s chosen to God.
This Memorial Day we stop to remember those who gave their all for their country.
