As Christians we shouldn’t be discouraged by failing bodies, but should always pin our hope on the eternal glorified bodies that God has graciously promised to us.

Keep being sacrificial and confident as you hold up God’s powerful word, knowing this his saving promises are guaranteed by his faithful character.

There will always be a cost to relaying the truth to our generation, but that hardship will demonstrate the parallel of Christ rejection and suffering that results in salvation and many changed lives.

To be effective in relaying the life-changing truth of the gospel, we must keep both our weakness and God’s greatness clearly in view.

We need to keep representing and sharing the truth without compromising it, regardless of people who don’t get it or oppose us for upholding it.

We need to appreciate and celebrate the greatness of the God-breathed New Testament gospel and its power to transform and shape our lives.

We should live as genuinely regenerate Christians, consistently speaking and acting so that others are clearly shown the transforming power of God’s living and active Word.

It is an honor and a solemn stewardship to represent Christ in our world—a task that brings profound satisfaction when done faithfully, even though it will not always be well-received.

We need to be ready for the challenges, sacrifices, and emotional discomfort that come with truly loving other Christians the way God calls us to.

We must be prepared for the challenges of the testing that will be sure to come in the Christian life, passing these tests without falling to the schemes of our spiritual enemy.
