1 Corinthians 15:2 & 58
By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
It is one thing to say I believe something. But if I do not live according to what I profess I believe, what is the point? My words are idle chatter and my stated belief is meaningless. Trusting in Jesus is really an all or nothing proposition. It cannot be a part way thing where I pick and choose the things I want or only act according to my belief when I see it is to my benefit. Once I've made the committment and taken a stand there should be nothing that can move me from it. The words ALWAYS and FULLY here really mean that. Often being extreme is not comfortable or popular. But when it is for the sake of Christ, it is never in vain.
