a great run-on sentence

2 Timothy 1:8-12a  (Paul's words to Timothy)
8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, 9 who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, 10 and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 11 for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher, 12 which is why I suffer as I do.

What better news is there than this?

  • He saved us and called us to a holy calling

  • He did this because of His own purpose and grace and not because of our works

  • He has abolished death - through the gospel

  • He has brought life and immortality to light - through the gospel
