You don't have to fall from your secure position!

 “Be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position.” (2 Peter 3:17b NIV)

One night a little boy fell out of bed with a loud crash

His parents came running and said, “Johnny, why did you fall out of bed?” He said sleepily, “I must have stayed too close to where I got in.” Without realizing it, the little boy had placed his finger on a very important principle of the Christian life. We must not remain “too close to where we got in.” To remain strong in our faith, we must continue to grow in God's knowledge and grace. “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” (2 Peter 3:18a NIV)

Things you can do to grow spiritually 

Set time aside to read the Bible, to pray, and attend a Bible believing, Bible teaching church where you can grow in the knowledge and grace of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Get together regularly with some Christian brothers and sisters for Bible study and fellowship. These are basic things, but they really work because they are foundational.

If you do these things you will never fall!​

“Therefore rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if you do these things, you shall never fall:.” (2 Pet. 1:10 NKJV)

God has a lifelong plan for us

“Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 2:6 NIV)

“I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 3:14 NIV)
