Hold fast to that which is good

Examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good; abstain from every form of evil.
—1 Thessalonians 5:21-22

Examine everything carefully and hold fast to the good! This is a summons to re-examine the life of the believer in Christ, and seek the Gospel of grace again and again! We're called to righteousness, but we all inevitably fall short of the Lord's perfect righteous standard. If we preach to ourselves the message of hope in Christ Jesus, then we can take heart, and know that God is always with us in spirit and truth, and we can come boldly before the throne of grace mindful of His promises for this life and the greater life to come. Soli Deo Gloria!

I am a sinner, and I look to the tender mercies of my Lord Jesus Christ. If you're reading this, then pray for me! I covet prayer!
