Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith.
Be courageous. Be strong.
There
is more to standing firm than being strong.
In fact some of the strongest people have the biggest weaknesses. Further, it is often the people that think
they are strong and invisible that fall or fail in times of great struggles.
The
verse above speaks of courage and strength.
It talks about being on guard so your faith stands firm. That is why faith, spiritual health, is
vitally important to our lives and to our standing firm.
We
have someone else, God Himself, to stand with us and for us. That is when we are the strongest possible.
Luke 21:19 NLT
By standing firm, you will win your souls.
Standing firm leads to more
people standing firm.
Ephesians 6:13 NLT
Therefore, put on every
piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of
evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.
The ability to stand firm
is directly related to who and what we trust. The enemy desires to steal from you and from me. Yet we find ourselves in harms ways because we miss what will keep us strong. Put on His armor.
1 Thessalonians 3:8 NLT
It gives us new life to
know that you are standing firm in the Lord.
We aren’t saved to
stand-alone or to just go to heaven. It
is amazing to notice the people who choose faith because we choose faith. Something big happens in me when I see that I
have made a difference in the lives of others.
2 Peter 1:12 NLT
Therefore, I will always
remind you about these things—even though you already know them and are standing firm in
the truth you have been taught.
Hang on to what you have learned and stand firm. Hold tight to the truth of God and stand
firm. Let your courage and strength
shine because you stand firm in the Lord.
