2 Timothy 2:19 KJV
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
The foundation of God standeth sure. Despite the onset of apostasy and heresy, still God's work is sure and its foundation solid.
It has this seal; "The Lord knoweth them that are His."
God has no trouble discerning between the wheat and tares, the sheep and goats. I do not have to concern myself with such matters. God has them covered.
The response to God's seal is thus, "Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity."
And so is the call of every preacher. If you claim to belong to Christ; if you give His name as your own, then depart from iniquity. Do not claim do be a Christian and continue on in a life of sin. Do not excuse it away, do not ignore it in your life and do not grow angry at the preacher for giving you the Word of God. Depart from iniquity. Quit it, turn from it.
So your claim to that name will be proven.
