10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 It is a faithful saying : For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:The third place we find “faithful saying” in the Bible. This is a faithful saying Christian, if we stand with the Lord we will suffer for the Lord. We will have to endure some things in this world, we will suffer for the name of Jesus Christ when and if we stand for Him. There are many who profess the name of Jesus Christ who will never see this verse true in their lives. Why would I say that? Because most people in the world would never guess that they are a Christian. They keep it hidden, they live for the world, live for self, live for money, for the flesh, but never for Jesus Christ. They have never died to self, are not dead with Him. But do you want to reign with Him? Do you want the true blessings of God? Do you want Him to claim you on the day of reward? Then begin now to be a real Chrsitian, begin now to die to self, begin now to live for Christ. It is a faithful saying that we will suffer for His name. It is also a faithful saying that He will reward us for it.
