Absolutes

For if we died with Him,
We shall also live with Him.
If we endure,
We shall also reign with Him.
If we deny Him,
He also will deny us.
If we are faithless,
He remains faithful.
He cannot deny Himself.

2 Timothy 2:11-13

For born again Christians who are willing to trust, obey and submit to God, and who believe that Christ is the only answer to all problems :

~ Die and resurrect with Christ. Demolish all our old thinkings and rebuild a new belief system. It is the only way, because if we don't, our worldly spirit will always fight with the holy spirit. We will easily lose faith when we face problems, and we will choose the comfortable path to follow, the path of the world. When that happens, we only turn to God when we need Him to help us out of a scrape, but follow our own instincts and our own will most of the time. We can only follow the path of Christ if we are willing to give up our old selves, and wholeheartedly follow Him without turning back. For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him.

~Persevere throughout all hardships, don't give up as He never gives up on us, no matter how we stray. Return to Him with a contrite heart, and He will welcome us back with open arms as when a prodigal son returns to his father. Pray, pray and keep praying, and the holy spirit will give us strength to endure, and will guide us throughout our trials and tribulations. Use the hardships we go through as a testimony, as a way to help and encourage others. When we endure hardships and persecutions in His name and for the kingdom, when we use our experiences to glorify Him and minister others facing the same problems, we will inherit the crown. For if we endure, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, and deny the promptings of the Holy Spirit, when we lose faith at the fist sign of trouble, when we refuse to obey Him and persist on going our own merry way, we lose our crowns.

~But at the end of the day, even when we deny Him, even when we lose faith, even when we give up, even when we fail, even when we disappoint Him, He will still stand by us. He will still give us salvation. For He remains faithful. He cannot deny who He is. That is the absolute truth.
