The Christian Calling Necessitates Faithfulness and Fortitude Joy N. Elias

- Christianity
The world we live in has adopted a pluralistic view of life where there are many answers to the fundamental questions of life, and all are considered equally right. Viewing truth as relative has become the mainstay of the modern global culture. However, the message of the Bible asserts truth as objective and grounded in the one true God. It can be very easy to fall for any new teaching thus subjecting oneself to the deceptions of this age. Followers of Jesus Christ must persevere in the faith by sticking to the core tenets of the Christian teaching and living lives of godliness which are marked by good works.
Now what better basis for perseverance in the faith is there than the very Gospel message we received? The Gospel tells us that it is God who chose us for salvation and sanctified us to holiness when we believed. If God started this good work, then it is work that is of utmost importance in all that we do, that is why we must persevere in the faith. The Gospel is the means that God initiates our faith, maintains our faith, and provides us with a future hope for our faith.
