2. Stand Fast/Firm in the Faith
Soldiers of Christ are to stand their ground, not retreat (Eph. 6:10-11, 13).
We are not to be “carried about with every wind of doctrine” (Eph. 4:14).
We are to stand fast and “hold the traditions”
(2 Thess. 2:15).
Spiritual growth requires that we be settled and established in the elementary principles of the word of God (Heb. 5:12-6:2). Slide5
3. Be Brave; Act Like Men
The Corinthians needed to be told to act like men (adults), because they were shamefully acting like children (1 Cor. 3:1-2; 14:20).
They needed to be brave (2 Tim. 1:7).
Cowards have their place in the lake of fire
(Rev. 21:8). Slide6
4. Be Strong
The Christian’s strength does not come from himself, but from his Lord.
“Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might”
(Eph. 6:10).
“Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus”
(2 Tim. 2:1).
“Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power”
(Col. 1:11). Slide7
5. Act In Love
Echoes Paul’s teaching on the superiority of love (1 Cor. 13).
Echoes the Lord’s teaching regarding the greatest command (Mark 12:29-31).
The other apostles placed a high premium on love (1 Pet. 4:8; 1 John 4:7). Slide8
5. Act In Love
Love balances everything else in this list.
It keeps our
watchfulness
from becoming harsh judging of others.
It keeps our
firmness
from becoming hardness.
It keeps our
courage
from becoming harshness.
It keeps our
strength
from becoming arrogance.Slide9
