Steadfast In the Faith

Steadfast in the Faith July, 7 2025 

Surprisingly, many Christians do not understand the concept of “steadfastness.” The word “steadfast” means to be firmly fixed in place, immovable and not subject to change. In a religious sense, it means to remain firm in belief and doctrine. The bible encourages Christians to be steadfast in their faith and service to the Lord, not wavering, not wishy-washy, or lukewarm. Believers are not to be moved about by the latest religious trend. (Eph. 4:14) Christians must be steadfast and consistent in their worship and benevolence. The Christian must stand firm against the devil and his world, much like a man standing in hurricane-force winds. If the man is not anchored steadfastly the wind will carry him away. Christians must have their faith anchored in the hope which is in Christ lest they be swept away. (Heb. 2:1; 3:12; 6:19)

Are you steadfast in the faith? 

• We Must Possess a Steadfast Heart (Ps. 57:7) 
• We are Partakers with Christ if We Hold Steadfast (Heb. 3:14) 
• We Must Continue Steadfastly in Prayer (Rom. 12:12) 
• Continue Steadfastly in the Apostle’s Teaching (Acts 2:42) 
• We Must Resist the Devil, Steadfast in the Faith (1 Pet. 5:8-9) 
• Beware Lest We Fall from Our Steadfastness (2 Pet. 3:7) 
• Stand Grounded and Steadfast in the Hope of the Gospel (Col. 1:23)

Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be firm, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. 
(1 Corinthians 15:58)
