| 0:00.0 | Thank you. Faithfulness is an essential part of who God is. |
| 0:30.1 | In fact, today on Truth for Life, we'll find out why it's impossible for God to be unfaithful. |
| 0:35.8 | Alistair Begg explores the Bible's definition of faithfulness |
| 0:39.2 | and shows how God models it for us |
| 0:41.7 | and how it's cultivated within the followers of Jesus. |
| 0:51.3 | I invite you to turn with me to 2nd Timothy and to chapter 2, where we'll read the first 13 verses |
| 0:58.8 | to Timothy chapter 2, reading from verse 1. |
| 1:06.2 | You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard |
| 1:12.6 | from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others |
| 1:19.0 | also. Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please |
| 1:31.1 | the one who enlisted him. An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. |
| 1:39.6 | It is the hardworking farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops. Think over what |
| 1:45.1 | I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything. Remember Jesus Christ, risen from |
| 1:52.8 | the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my gospel, for which I am suffering bound with chains |
| 1:59.9 | as a criminal. But the Word of God is not bound. |
| 2:03.6 | Therefore, I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation |
| 2:09.6 | that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. The saying is trustworthy, for if we have died with him, we will also live with him. If we endure, |
| 2:21.8 | we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us. If we are faithless, |
| 2:31.6 | he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself. Thanks be to God for His Word. |
| 2:42.2 | Our gracious God, we bow before you. You are the one who wakened us to this new day. You are the one who has brought us to this hour. We believe that |
| 2:54.2 | when your word is preached, that your voice is heard. So grant then that beyond the voice of a mere man, |
| 3:01.3 | we may hear your voice, and that in hearing it, we may trust it and obey it, for we pray in Christ's name. Amen. |
