Colossians 1:22-23 But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

Reflection

The gospel doesn’t just begin our faith—it sustains it. Paul calls us to remain grounded and steadfast, holding firmly to the hope we first received. Our confidence is not in our ability to hold on, but in God’s faithfulness to continue the work He has begun in us.

Application

Today, choose steadiness over drifting. Ask God to strengthen your faith and deepen your confidence in His ongoing work in your life. Be attentive to opportunities to bear witness to the power of the gospel.

Pray for growth and fruitfulness in our shared ministry, trusting that God will finish what he started.
