The key to being steadfast and persevering in the Christian life is to always be moving forward, always abounding in the work of the Lord, as we just read. If you are riding a bike, you know that if you stop, you will fall. As a Christian, you must cultivate every ounce of what God has revealed to you in truth about Himself so that your love for Him would grow and abound more and more. ---Colossians 3:1-2,-- Ephesians 1:15-20,-- Psalm 119:18, --John 16:13---Hebrews 3:12-4:2,-- 1 Corinthians 15:58 --Psalm 92:12-14,-- Ephesians 4:11-15, --Colossians 1:9-11,-- 1 Peter 2:1-3 -- 2 Peter 1:1-2, --Romans 5:1-2, --Ephesians 2:18--2 Peter 1:3-8 --John 3:3, Titus 3:3-7, Ephesians 2:1-10 --James 4:6-10, 1 Peter 5:5-6 --Psalm 86:10-12, Matthew 5:16, Romans 15:5-6, 1 Corinthians 6:20--Are you growing in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ?
