1 Corinthians 15:58 "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord."
The verses preceding verse 58 are very well known. Death has lost its power, the grave it impotent, we now have victory through Jesus Christ over sin and death! Therefore....
Paul tells us that we need to be stedfast, or firm and immovable. We stand in the love of Christ, in His victory. We will not give an inch, we will not move from this place of power. Paul tells us to be unmoveable. We have a task to complete, let us do it with firm persistence, never giving up, unmobeable in godly purpose and passion. Paul tells us to be always abounding in the Lord's work. Our work is to share the love of Christ with the world. Abounding in that work means it's always happening, flowing from us, spreading across the world!
If we are working in the Lord (seeking Him every step of the way), then what we do will have purpose and impact. Am I living this "therefore" today?
