| There is no such thing as a standstill in a Christian’s life. We are either gaining ground or losing ground. We are not speaking of our salvation in Christ, for that is eternal and can never be changed or altered. Every true believer is indwelt by “the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.” But in our daily life and walk, we are either going forward or backward. “Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” So, “as newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby,” “that ye henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine … but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all things, which is the head, even Christ.” |
