Standing Firm

If It Were Not So: Introduction

2 Thessalonians 2:15

“With all these things in mind, dear brothers and sisters, stand firm and keep a strong grip on everything we taught you both in person and by letter.”

As a child, I remember my parents taking me to church each week. I remember going to Sunday School with all the other boys and girls and learning about Jesus. I remember the first verse I hid in my heart.

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23

     I also remember giving my heart to Jesus and the overwhelming joy I felt. I am thankful for those years as they laid down the foundation of faith that would bring me out of the darkest hours of my life when I once again committed my life to Christ after years of drifting away.

It would only be after my life fell apart that I would find a real truth in God’s Word and a desire to truly study the Scriptures in depth and begin to wholeheartedly apply His Words in my life.

I am so thankful for God’s everlasting grace and mercy which allowed me to return home to Him and live a life full of victory. It is with a hopeful heart that I write this. I hope that you will search out God in your daily study. I hope that you will seek the truth that is found only in the pages of the Bible. I hope that your heart and soul will be blessed by these words and that God’s promises will shine through.

Standing firm on Gods Word is not always easy – but it is always worth the cost.
