People love to quote 2 Timothy 3:12 to justify their mediocrity and lack of success. It states, “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” What they ignore is the very verse right before it where the apostle Paul states plainly, “but out of them all the Lord delivered me” (2 Timothy 3:11). There are so many professing Christians living lives beneath the blessings of the gospel because they refuse to behave in a godly manner. They choose to keep conforming to the world and then have the audacity to blame God for their results in life! There is a simple path to living the good life, a life of blessing, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost, but you will have to live the life of a Christian and not the life of a mere religionist.
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. (1 Timothy 2:1-4)
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. (Romans 12:18)
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14)
For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. (1 Peter 3:10-11)
