Hold Steady

Hold Steady

 

See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy.

—Colossians 2:8

 

This is the age of mass marketing. Every religion will seek your attention with slick promises and easy commitment. Hold steady. Christ is the only way to heaven. Focus your faith on Him, and beware of the promises made by other religions. Good questions to ask about other religious teachers are (1) Do they teach that Jesus Christ is the only son of God? (2) Do they teach that the Bible is the only reliable source of truth, or are there other writings that reveal God’s will? and (3) Do they believe faith in Jesus is the only way to salvation?

 

The answer is yes in each case. Hold steady in your faith in God’s Son and your reliance upon His Word.

 

Lord Jesus, help me to focus all of my faith on You. Thank You that in a world of conflicting messages, You have given me a certain and powerful faith. Amen.
