In case you hadn’t noticed, this world is opposed to the gospel. We need encouragement to continue standing firm in Christ in the midst of a world that rejects Him; to keep believing in something that many people consider a myth. This world regards Christians as fools, guiding our lives by a bunch of fairy tales, trying to keep an out-of-date moral code, believing things that the scientists, historians, and philosophers have told them can’t possibly be true… You start to wonder if maybe they’re right and the Bible is wrong. Maybe this is all just a myth, a delusion, a pleasant falsehood. That’s when we need to come alongside one another and say, “Keep the faith. Don’t give in to doubt. Don’t let the scorn and contempt of the world turn you away from the Truth.” We need to encourage one another to believe God and believe the gospel of Jesus Christ, in a world that is hostile to both.
