Holding Fast to What You Have in Christ

Our words have the power to build up or tear down, and that matters because people are often carrying far more than we can see. Sometimes what makes the difference is a simple word of encouragement at the right moment. But before we can truly encourage others, we have to understand what we have in Christ ourselves. In Hebrews 10, the writer reminds us that because of what Jesus has done, we have direct access to God, something steady and powerful that is worth holding onto. And in light of that, he calls us not only to remain faithful, but to help others do the same.
