Be Firm In Your Faith

Your faith will be tested by the world. It will be mocked by the scoffer. It will be threatened by life situations. Nevertheless, faith's firm foundation will not change with the times, break under pressure, nor crumble into doubt and unbelief. Faith is a gift of God upon a constant, firm foundation. Faith stands upon the truth of God. "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17).

The most important part of a house is not what the eyes can see. By far, the most important part of any house is a firm foundation. Otherwise, the house is subject to many hazards. So it is with our faith. Faith must have a firm foundation or it will not stand the test of time. 

"You have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus" (2 Timothy 3:15). Our faith has a firm foundation upon the Lord Jesus Christ, according to the Holy Scriptures.

The Bible is a firm foundation. All Scripture is inspired by the Holy Spirit. Our faith stands upon a firm foundation. Faith based upon anything else cannot survive the test of time. "But the word of our God stands forever" (Isaiah 40:8). Our faith stands firm, because the word of God stands forever.
