Stand Firm in the Waiting

Paul reminds believers that because Christ has already taken hold of us, we can live in freedom from the past, live with confidence in the present, and eagerly await the future hope of Christ's return. As citizens of heaven, we are called to stand firm by living faithfully today; pursuing holiness, making disciples, and representing Christ as His ambassadors while we wait. Our confidence in Christ should produce steadfast lives that invite others to follow Jesus alongside us.
