Be Steadfast

What should we be steadfast in?

The church at Colosse was commended for its steadfast faith in Christ Jesus. As we are rooted and built up in Him, our faith must be steadfast (Colossians 2:5-7).

How is our steadfast faith useful?

By standing fast in the faith, we resist the devil. When resisted, he will flee from us. Therefore, after we suffer a while, we are made perfect, stablished, strengthened, and settled (1 Peter 5:8-10).

Is it worth a lot to be steadfast in the faith?

One will be rewarded for doing this. We achieve the victory through Christ, and the assurance that our labor is not in vain in the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:57-58).

Can our salvation be ensured by standing fast in the faith?

We could not even come to God without faith (Hebrews 11:6). It is possible to fall from grace (Galatians 5:4), which brings salvation (Titus 2:11). Therefore, Christians are warned that they can fall from their own steadfastness (2 Peter 3:14-18). Instead, we need to be diligent to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Are you in Christ? Are you growing?
