Therefore My Beloved Brethren

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” 
(I Corinthians15:58)

It is impossible and impractical for an unsaved, lost person without Christ to be faithful. But it is both, possible and practical as well as expected for a saved person to be faithful.

The word, “therefore,” stands out again. Everything in the first fifty-seven verses of I Corinthians 15 is the reason we can and should be faithful. Beginning with the death, burial and resurrection of Christ and going all the way to His return and concluding with our resurrection are why we can be faithful.

We can be faithful, steadfast and abounding in the work of the Lord because our labor is not in vain in the Lord. Don’t give up. Don’t quit. Be faithful.
