7@7 #123: Jesus, Our Firm Foundation 1

Would you describe yourself as secure or shaky? Are you confident or uncertain? Are you standing on solid ground? Pastor/Professor Andrew Marquez considers the confidence Christians have in light of Phil. 1:6 and Isaiah. 28:16. Paul expresses his confidence in the Philippian converts. Jesus will continue His sanctifying work in them until His return. Isaiah chastises the religious leadership for making deadly deals with other nations. He calls them to stand on the God-given Cornerstone for true security. The New Testament reveals that the tested, precious, and sure Cornerstone is Jesus Christ. If you place your faith in Him, you will not be shaken.
