Those who Reject the Truth (2 Tim. 3:8)

SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR 8-28-02

 

My Worship Time                                                      Focus:  Those who Reject the Truth

 

Bible Reading & Meditation                                     Reference:  2Timothy 3:8

 

            Message of the verse:  “8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith.” 

            Jannes and Jambres are probably the two men who preformed the false miracles when Moses was speaking to Pharaoh recorded in the book of Exodus.  I have read that Jewish tradition says that these men became false Jewish proselytes and were the ones who convinced the people to make a golden calf that they latter worshiped.  The word truth in the passage is speaking about the truth of the gospel.  The Greek word for “rejected” rejected means metal that has not passed the quality test. 

            “That which is rejected on account of its own worthlessness #Jer 6:30 #Heb 6:8 Gr. adokimos, "rejected". This word is also used with reference to persons cast away or rejected because they have failed to make use of opportunities offered them #1Co 9:27 2Co 13:5-7”

 

The Word of God has brought warning to me today.

 

My Steps of Faith Today:  I am thankful that Sandy and I got to pray last night and hope that we will be able to pray together again this evening.
