Last week, we learned that we all are Called to be a Disciple, not just someone who Believes in Jesus but a Disciple.
Now I am not saying that belief is not important – it is vitally important.
It is through Belief, Faith, Trust in Jesus that we are Saved.
It is through what & Who we believe that can change our lives.
But I am saying that for a couple decades or so, in the US, not everyone who says they believe in Jesus as Savior and Lord are living for Him as a Disciple.
So what can we do?
I think we need to understand that we are not only Called to be a Disciple but called to have a CONVICTIONS as a Disciple.
Convictions are such Strong beliefs that it forces me to Action.
What the trend in Tolerance has done is to make most people think that to have Convictions is unnatural, unwelcomed, unnecessary.
But Disciples have Convictions!
Let us look at Paul’s life from our passage today.
Notes from 2Timothy Passage:
- Conviction in the Power of the HS, Love, self-discipline.
Vs. 7
- Conviction that He has served Jesus well, clear conscience, vs. 3
- Conviction that any suffering in serving the Lord is worth it compared to the Kingdom, vs. 8
- Conviction about being saved, His call and God’s Grace, vs. 9.
- Conviction to live a holy life, vs. 9
- Conviction in Jesus, as Savior, Resurrection, brings life and immortality, through the Gospel.
- Conviction to Share, be an Apostle and Teacher of this Gospel.
KEY – vs. 12; I know whom I have believed and am CONVINCED…
Are you Convinced in who and what you Believe?
Process for living faithfully, dynamically for the Lord?
Vs. 12
Belief ----------- CONVICTIONS ------------ Action
