Standing firm in Jesus Christ

Pastor Marcel Balootje

Many who are anxious to get ahead will get behind, while others will try to keep ahead of them.If we are wise, we will put God first in our lives, for he is the author of all things. For lack of a sound spiritual foundation, many fall into the trap of the enemy and are destroyed.

Spiritual, social, physical, and financial integrity and character. Because of the lack of a solid spiritual foundation, many do not respect the word “no”.

They do not have the word in their hearts, but they do have a mind, and they do what they want, no matter who it is, to satisfy their evil desires.

Without a good foundation, pride and arrogance arise, and bitterness dominates the lives of those who are alone in the world and do not care about others.

A good foundation is not a religious foundation, as is an idolatrous foundation, but one that is established by faith.who through faith in Christ Jesus our Lord did not depart from the truth.

“Why do you call me,’ Lord, Lord, ‘and do not do what I say?I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice.

He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock.When the flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it.

Psalm 127:1 says: “Unless Jehovah himself builds the house, it is to no avail that its builders have worked hard on it”. Unless Jehovah guards the city, it is to no avail that the watchman keeps awake. The importance of a spiritual life,firmly in our lives, is that we achieve God’s purpose.

for our lives. Our spiritual life does not depend on money or knowledge, but on our faith and obedience to God, recognizing God first, and everything else will be added to our lives.

You see how much trouble our youth have, and today people want to wear everything in a political suit. If the boy doesn’t go to school he’s dirty, if he walks with a gun he’s dirty, if he walks in a gang he’s dirty, If he walks on the grass, he’s a politician. Doubts about their sexual identity are political.

It’s a system of putting social and spiritual education on top of politics, while with spiritual education,social, respect and morality start at home.

Notice what the apostle Paul says at 1 Corinthians 3:10-11: “According to the undeserved kindness of God which was given to us through Jesus Christ, we have the hope of eternal life”.

By the authority given me through the word of God, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But let him pay attention to what he is building. But each one should be careful how he builds. For no one can lay any foundation without the other.

and you have been given the promise of a better hope – the promise of the one who is Christ Jesus.

The world is full of deceitful traditions that do not grow from the word of God and are not based on the truth.

knowledge of Christ Jesus. A house without a solid foundation will have weak walls and be unable to withstand the weight of the roof, which may collapse. We must live in Christ Jesus, so that we can stand against the attacks of the enemy.
