The saying is trustworthy, for: If we have died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us; if we are faithless, he remains faithful— for he cannot deny himself.
When Paul tells me that something is trustworthy, it is the highest accolade that he can put on the statement. A real, "sit up and pay attention, John, what I am about to tell you is of the utmost importance." He's telling me that if I am obedient, He will use me to advance His Kingdom. However, if I am disobedient, I will lose my portfolio. However, no matter how unfaithful I am, He must remain faithful, He can do no else.
