STAY ALERT SO AS TO NEVER FALL AWAY!

” SO, DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS, WORK HARD TO PROVE THAT YOU REALLY ARE AMONG THOSE GOD HAS CALLED AND CHOSEN. DO THESE THINGS AND YOU WILL NEVER FALL AWAY.” 2 PETER 1:10

“BE ON GUARD SO THAT YOU WILL NOT BE CARRIED AWAY BY THE ERRORS OF THESE WICKED PEOPLE AND LOSE YOUR OWN SECURE FOOTING. RATHER, YOU MUST GROW IN THE GRACE AND KNPOWLEDGE OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.” 2 PETER 3:17-18

We must always keep our focus on the end result. We must keep our eyes on Jesus! If we take our eyes off of him and let them wander onto the worldly ways of those around us, we take the risk of losing what we have already built up in Christ Jesus. We must work hard to prove that we are among those called. We must live lives with Jesus at the forefront. It is easy to wander from our end goal. But we must be able to recognize when that happens and ask our Lord for forgiveness and then continue in his presence and follow his direction. It is not easy to follow Christ. There will be persecution and questions. There will be embarrassment, harsh words and even danger thrown in our path. But we must be able to stand strong in the face of evil and move forward. We must stay connected to our Lord at all times and let our faith never waver! Our Lord unconditionally loves us, and we should love him without conditions. Stay strong, stay focused and step out in faith! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
