Call to Remember Jesus

Paul commands Timothy to remember Jesus according to his gospel message for which Paul suffers hardship even to the point of imprisonment. But since God's word is not bound, he continues to endure that the chosen may be saved. He ends by quoting a trustworthy saying to remind Timothy of the reason to remember and be prepared to suffer. We live with him, and if we endure, we will reign with Him. However if we deny Him, He will deny us but will remain faithful to His word even in our faithlessness.
