Live The Word

Hold Fast

3/31/2025

They say in our world the only constant is change. Yet scripture teaches that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Having lived on two continents I’ve seen too often that when the world shifts its values, they want Christianity to shift alongside them. How do we stand firm in God’s truth when those around us say that what we speak is not truth anymore? Standing firm means we speak truth in grace and love. It means we don’t compromise the gospel message to cater to the ever-constant changing of our culture. Ephesians 6:13 says, “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.” That armor has truth, righteousness, hope, peace, the gospel, God’s word. That is what we put on to hold fast in the storm. At the same time, we are not alone. God’s word teaches us that a cord of three strands is not easily broken. Hebrews 10:24-25 tells us, “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” We can hold fast by standing firm in the truth, spurring one another on, and doing it in a way that is filled with grace and love.
