A life of impact is a life that perseveres. We will not all make an impact in the same way, but can make an impact in some way.

2. 2 Timothy 2:1-3
You then, my son, be strong in the grace
that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you
have heard me say in the presence of many
witnesses entrust to reliable men who will
also be qualified to teach others. Endure
hardship with us like a good soldier of
Christ Jesus.

3. 2 Timothy 2:4-6
No one serving as a soldier gets involved in
civilian affairs—he wants to please his
commanding officer. Similarly, if anyone

4. 2 Timothy 2:7-9
Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord
will give you insight into all this.

dead, descended from David. This is my
gospel, for which I am suffering even to the
point of being chained like a criminal. But
God’s words is not chained.

5. 2 Timothy 2:10-11
Therefore I endure everything for the sake
of the elect, that they too may obtain the
salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal
glory. Here is a trustworthy saying: If we
died with him, we will also live with him;

6. 2 Timothy 2:12-13
if we endure, we will also reign with him. If
we disown him, he will also disown us; if
we are faithless, he will remain faithful, for
he cannot disown himself.
