Default Devotion: Stand for Christ

Stand for Christ

2 Timothy 1:12 "For the cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day."
Paul as a Child of God suffered many things for the cause of Christ. Christians today will suffer for supporting Christ as well. Paul was not ashamed of Christ or his stand from the Cause of Christ.

very day in America, our faith is put to the test. It seems that everything Christians stand for is questioned and found by this world to be incorrect. Many view the Christian stand as a stand for hate, that it is a stand that will cause hurt to America. Friends, the Christian stand is the stand for RIGHT, a Stand for Christ. Our salvation is not in our control, but rather in the control of Jesus Christ.

I am not holding on but I am trusting Christ to keep me. My salvation is not what I do, but it is what Jesus DID! "He is able to keep that" is good news for the Child of God. Once we are saved, it does not matter if our minds leave us to where we can't function or remember anything, but the Lord is the keeper of our salvation and we don't have to worry about losing our salvation. God's gift of Salvation is an eternal gift, not something that runs out, or something that we can misplace or lose, it is what God gives to all that believe in him and profess him Lord of their life.

1 Timothy 3:16
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifested in the flesh,
Justified in the Spirit,
Seen by angels,
Preached among the Gentiles,
Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory.
