Standing Firm on the Gospel

I Corinthian 15.1-4

I believe
REACH OUT . . . But be doers of the word,
and not hearers only,
deceiving yourselves.
How would we complete this statement?
AND TOUCH SOMEONE!
James 1.22

What strong convictions do we possess? Can we identify them clearly?

Are we willing to take a hard stand to defend them?

Paul advises 1st century Christians to stand firm on the gospel. (1 Corinthians 15.58)
