God’s Word Is Not Chained

Paul wrote these verses as a farewell letter to Timothy while he was chained in a dark, cold Roman prison cell shortly before he was killed. He knew that his death was imminent. Even so, Paul proclaimed the message of Jesus Christ from right where he sat in chains because, as he said, “God’s word is not chained.”

You may think you can’t share the message of Jesus because of your current place in life. Maybe your circumstances are not ideal, but the message of Jesus is not limited by your situation. God’s Word always accomplishes what He desires! Though we may feel weak or underprepared, God’s Word is never useless and never constricted by our circumstances. It goes far beyond just us, and can reach people with a power that comes from the Spirit, not the presentation we make.

Remember the life-giving, death-defeating power of His message and boldly proclaim it to those who need life!
