TEXT: Colossians 1:21-23
INTRO: Last week, we explored how we have moved from the shifting sand of alienation and opposition to God into reconciliation and new life through Christ. This transformation is not just a moment but a journey of becoming. Reconciliation is not the end; we must remain steadfast in our faith, firmly established and unwavering in the hope of the gospel. Colossians 1:23 challenges us to continue in our faith, holding fast to the foundation of Christ. Today, we will examine the necessity of steadfast faith, ensuring that we do not drift but instead stand firm, fully anchored in the grace and mercy poured out through the blood of Jesus.
