Question: What is the solid foundation of God?

Answer: What comes to our mind when we think of this question, what does the Bible say?

Introduction: Good Morning, Praise the Lord! Today wanted to meditate on 2 Tim 2:19 “Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.”

Background: Paul’s last letter was to his dear son in the Lord, Timothy. Just after writing this letter, Paul was beheaded by Nero. It is a very personal letter to Timothy reminding and encouraging him about the walk with the Lord

Teaching: Paul tells Timothy, about two aspects of God’s solid foundation, one is our hope “Lord knows those who are his” This is our great confidence, we have a Father who is personal and knows us. But how do we know we truly belong to Him, Paul explains it by saying “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.”

Remember the words of Jesus

• John 14:15 If you love me, keep my commands.
• Luke 6:46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?
• Math 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Application: If we are not intentional of obeying and living a holy life, then we should question if we are actually saved. When we are fully consecrated to live a Holy life, Jesus promised in John 14:16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever

Final Thought: The Holy Father gave us the Holy Spirit as per the promise, given to us by His Holy Son Jesus through the Holy Scriptures to help us live a Holy life
