Today, Christians worldwide are
encouraged to keep the faith. Don’t waver. Don’t doubt. Don’t compromise. Stand
for righteousness and holiness always. Trust God.
From news of death and destruction worldwide
to global safety and security concerns, our present times may seem dismal.
Christians may be tempted by the enemy with feelings of dread or despair.
However, James 1:6 instructs, “But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering . For
he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.”
When faced with uncertainty, it may seem logical or safe to give in to
surrounding temptations and go along with the crowd. Some Christians may even
perceive righteousness by what “so many other Christians are doing”. Please be
careful my brothers and sisters in Christ. These thoughts are deceptive. While
we may love and admire other brethren in the Church body of Christ, God gave us
His holy Word through Jesus Christ that we may each follow faithfully, trusting
God for the help we need. We each must study to show ourselves approved unto
God (2 Timothy 2:15). God will answer us or judge us individually.
While the faithful disciples of the
early Church likewise suffered persecution for keeping the faith in their time,
modern-day Christians must likewise keep the faith today. Every person must be
tried before God, but only those who live holy will see Him in the end (Hebrews 14:12).
