Commentary on 2 Timothy 2:13

Theological / Devotional

Believe not. Gr. apisted, “to be unfaithful,” “to be untrustworthy.” Though men and women may fail God and disappoint their fellow men, Christians may be certain that God is always trustworthy. His abiding presence never forsakes men who put their trust in Him.

Deny himself. Because of His very nature God cannot fail to fulfill His promises (see on Num. 23:19; Ps. 89:35; Titus 1:2; Heb. 6:18 ; 10:23). God will be as faithful in punishing the wicked as He will be in rewarding the righteous. No sinner should think that God, in the last day, will change His mind about the destruction of the wicked.
