If we throw a baseball into the sky, it will fall to the earth. If we shoot a bullet into the air, it will come back to the ground somewhere. Gravity is one of those laws of nature that consistently holds true. We can count on it.
Paul is talking about that kind of consistency when he writes "this is a faithful saying.
"For if we died with him,
We shall also live with him
If we endure,
We shall also reign with him
If we deny him,
He will also deny us
If we are faithless
He remains faithful
He cannot deny himself (2Timothy 2:11-13).
There is a lot to ponder in those words.
