Held and Holding Firmly

 (ID: 1777)

Paul’s highest priority was to share the Gospel with others, warning them against self-effort that doesn’t save. Our ability to hold firmly to the truth of God’s Word is not a means of being—or staying—saved. Instead, Alistair Begg teaches that faithfulness is evidence that we are firmly held in God’s embrace. As believers, we must fully understand the Gospel so we can communicate it simply and rest confidently in God’s promises.
