613. Paul’s Deposit

2Ti_1:12

“He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him.” He says He can keep us, for He is our Keeper—Psa_121:5-8. But if He is to keep us we must deposit ourselves with Him, for the meaning of the word “committed” is “deposited.” To deposit ourselves with the Lord is like placing money in the bank on deposit for the bank to keep it. Paul committed to the Lord—

1. The Reputation of his character—1Co_4:13.

2. The Temple of His body—2Co_4:10, 2Co_4:11.

3. The Life of his service—Act_20:24.

4. The Work of his labour—1Co_15:10.

5. The Trial of his infirmity—2Co_12:9.

6. The Consecration of his being—Gal_2:20.

7. The Success of his service—Eph_3:7, Eph_3:8.
