Fit in Heaven // 2 Timothy 2:15
2 Timothy 2:15 (NIV) | Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
Today’s verse comes on the heels of the Apostle Paul warning this protege, Timothy, about false teachers. We all have itchy ears looking to hear what affirms our thoughts and beliefs. We call them echo chambers today, where we want to hear other people speak, and then echo, beliefs. Paul’s message to Timothy was to encourage him to live in a way that pleases God as opposed to pleases others. The word of truth can be tough to hear sometimes, and it will run counter to what pleases the culture. So, don’t live in such a way where you’re trying to fit in anywhere other than heaven. To put it another way, don’t seek approval from culture, but Christ.
