Jesus is the provider of grace. He taught us how to use grace to be strong by becoming imitators of him. Grace gives us strength through the act of love. This means that we endure hardship like a soldier. At the same time we do not allow civil affairs to steal our joy. The stronger your grace becomes, so does your faith. It is time that we pass that grace on to other people with the single-minded desire to please God in all things.
The Holy Spirit will provide insight as you reflect on God's way. In a way you die everyday with Jesus, so that you can rise again a holy person. Endure what the world throws at you with Jesus and enter heaven. The other option is to take your own path and be disowned by God. Work hard in all that you do, but not for yourself. Work hard for the benefit of everyone.
There is no value in quarreling. It will only ruin your testimony. People don't want to listen to someone that will only argue with them. No one wants to be around angry people. That is why you should just avoid ungodly chatter. It will only destroy your faith. It will leave the soul divided and in constant turmoil or unease. Put away the past. Allow your heart to be healed and rid yourself of ignorance. Allow gentleness to enter your heart.
God's foundation is firm. It build confidence within you making you stable, so there is no shame in your heart. It is stable to walk on without fear of everything falling apart or taken away. Flee from evil. That foundation is full of sink holes that are deadly. Being trustworthy is more important than comfort.
Use the grace of Jesus to pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with a pure heart. That is how you become strong. Be kind to everyone, teachable without holding resentment. This enables you to be repentant and humble. Repentance will lead you to the truth that you seek in life. The truth helps you escape Satan, so it is win win.
2 Timothy 2
