Must be radical!!!
2 Tim 2:1-3. Radicality speaks about suffering. If we want to be radical, we are sure will be suffering. There is no good soldier without practise. If we hate to suffer, we will not be able to be a good soldier.
2 Tim 3:11-12. Every people that want to live in Jesus Christ must suffer. It not only tell about physical but also mentally. In our case, a suffer will come to us as a practise, self denial, in common.
2 Tim 2:4. A radicality always started at financial problems (Mat 6:24). If we want to be radical, we must ready to release this. Never do other type of radicality if we not do this. 2 Tim 3:2a, if a man loving themselves, it will impact on making themselves as money servant. 1 Tim 6:5.
Live for money or money for live?
2 Tim 2:9, what for? To make us brave to tell the truth. If we are ready to suffer, we will not afraid to tell God's truth. Truth will make us free!!!
