He never does say to Timothy what group do you want to be in he doesn't need to he just

divide so clearly and you say to yourself boy I want to be like on a syphrous I don't want to be

like phagellis and homogenies.

Choose your associates folks.

You want to be among the courageous who name the name of Christ and pay the price or do you want

to be among the cowards who deny him?

Your choice.

Welcome to Grace to you with John MacArthur. I'm your host Phil Johnson. If you're a Christian, I trust you've had opportunities to tell non-believers what it means to follow Christ.

Perhaps a coworker tells you about his struggles with depression and hopelessness, and you

know the truth that can set him free from his fears.

Or maybe a neighbor tells you a loved one has passed away and the family is looking to you for answers.

In that moment, everything you know compels you to point them toward Christ and biblical truth,

but you're afraid to speak.

What's the antidote to those crippling fears?

How can you faithfully and boldly proclaim Christ in any situation?

Well, today on Grace to you, John MacArthur will show you how to live

with fearless commitment to Christ in his study titled Unashamed. Here's

John with today's lesson. Paul says, I minister, unashamedly, I suffer unashamedly because I trust my security.

So he says, I trust my security, he'll be able to keep me. Now notice this marvelous truth. The end of verse 12.

Until that day. What day? What day is that day?

Look at verse 18. What day is that day?

Look at verse 18. The Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord on that day.
