Don't shipwreck the faith. The scriptures can help us discern what is fake and what is real when it comes to the gospel of Jesus.

It's possible to think that God is only visible in the miraculous, but

The resurrection of Jesus reminds us that there is glory on the other side of suffering, and fuels us and focuses us to be single minded about following him, whatever the cost.

Following Jesus requires denial of self which results in suffering. Are you ashamed of the gospel, or are you embracing the suffering that comes with standing up for God?

The gospel illuminates the path to immortality; saving us to live a different life through God's grace. Are you ashamed of the gospel or with God's help, are you willing to suffer for it?

Paul's core desire for Timothy is to get, keep and share the Gospel. Are you passing in the baton of the Gospel through praying for others, sharing your life with them and reading the Word together?
