"Christians commit themselves to God, like someone putting their most precious possession into safe keeping in a bank or a secure vault...at the same time God commits something to us: a particular calling, a new set of responsibilities, and ultimately...new life, the life we have in the present through the spirit. Our task is to be faithful and responsible before God, as he is utterly faithful and reliable for us. Along the path lies the kind of life which will never be ashamed, in whichever direction the winds of fashion, political fortune, and popular opinion may blow." (N.T. "Tom" Wright in his commentary 2 Timothy 1:8-14)
