Key Scriptures Galatians 5:1.

Continuation.

• The final step in any process is continuation.
• There's a great deal of talk today about sustainability.
• How do we make something sustainable?

Focus.

• It all comes down to focus.
• Hebrews 10:14–23 tells us a great deal about what it means to press on in our faith.
• That section ends with some encouragement.
• Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;).
• Keep your mind on Christ, trusting that He is all He promises.
• We must trust that the promise is good because the one who made the promise is good. His word is as good as He is.

Application.

• Keep your eyes focused on Christ.
• Either we have Christ, or we have everything else that is other than Him—in other words, nothing at all.
• Stay in love with God.
• There is only one way to keep in step with the Spirit, and that is to keep fresh in our minds the reality of our first love, that which called us to Him to begin with.
