40 Day Adventure – Day 24

₁Israel, the LORD who created you says,

₁₀But you have followed my teaching, my conduct, and my purpose in life; you have observed my faith, my patience, my love, my endurance, ₁₁my persecutions, and my sufferings. You know all that happened to me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra, the terrible persecutions I endured! But the Lord rescued me from them all. ₁₂Everyone who wants to live a godly life in union with Christ Jesus will be persecuted; ₁₃and evil persons and impostors will keep on going from bad to worse, deceiving others and being deceived themselves. ₁₄But as for you, continue in the truths that you were taught and firmly believe. You know who your teachers were, ₁₅and you remember that ever since you were a child, you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. ₁₆All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching the truth, rebuking error, correcting faults, and giving instruction for right living, ₁₇so that the person who serves God may be fully qualified and equipped to do every kind of good deed.
