Steadfast And Unmovable

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. 

I Corinthians 15:58 

How are we to hold the truth of the resurrection? There have been, are now, and will be many in the earth who deny the resurrection. When Paul wrote this chapter, he was addressing the issue, ‘some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead.’ He went on to prove Christ’s resurrection and our eventual resurrection. He concluded with the song of victory over death. On the heels of that glorious statement of Christ’s victory and ours, he tells us to be steadfast and unmovable. Thus, we allow nothing and no one to shift us from the truth revealed to us of the resurrection. This was key in the ministry of the New Testament Apostles. They constantly proclaimed the resurrection of the dead and Christ’s resurrection in particular. The Greek philosophers refused to hear it. The Jewish religionists violently opposed it. The Apostles would not shift from it. We believe the Apostles. We believe Christ has risen from the dead. We cannot and will not move from the truth we know and are called to declare. 

Our Gracious God and Heavenly Father, 
We rejoice that You have raised Christ from the dead. 
We praise You that You have confirmed it 
by many infallible truths.
