Poured Out – Gospel Faucets (2 Timothy 4:6-8)
The crown of righteousness is not a reward for spiritual performance, but a gift of grace, received through faith in Christ. Paul reminds us that this crown isn’t reserved for apostles or the so-called spiritual elite—it’s promised to all who long for His appearing. The gospel isn’t about earning God’s favor; it’s about receiving what Christ has already accomplished on our behalf. This grace liberates us from striving to prove our worth and invites us to rest in the confidence that we are fully known, fully loved, and forever accepted in Christ.
