"Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love." 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 (NIV)
In the face of trouble and trying times, the Apostle Paul offered encouragement to the Christians in Corinth, telling them to be alert, keep the faith, exercise courage, show their strength, and be loving.
Today, whatever our particular situation, we are to act like Christians, obey The Word of God, have confidence in His power, know that He will keep His promises, and with His strength we will have the victory. We should always be on guard for the devil and his devices. We should be unyielding in our belief and our faith. We should be courageous when we face our problems, trials, and temptations, God did not give us the spirit of fear. With His strength we are conquerors. We should always demonstrate loving-kindness towards one another. When we are doing the work of The Lord, we should also encourage others who are doing likewise.
