Be

Last verse of I  Corinthians 15:

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.

Here’s our last encouragement, instruction, admonishment:

Be steadfast (firm and unwavering)

Be immovable (fixed and incapable of being swayed)

Be abounding in His work (rich and well supplied)

Why?

Because our work and faith and steadfastness is not in vain.

We have a goal.  We have an eternity waiting for us.  We have life ahead of us.  We have purpose.

And the cool thing is that when we are weak, HE is strong and enables us to carry on towards the prize – eternal life with Him – unencumbered by flesh and all its evil desires – completely free to live without pain and without the fear of death.
