In Dr. David Jeremiah’s book, “Living with Confidence in a Chaotic World”, Chapter 8 is entitled, “Stay Consistent”, and it is based on the Book of First John.
With permission from Karyl Maiorana , she summarizes the principles of staying consistent.
Consistently Christlike – First John 2:6 – Anyone who says he is a Christian should live as Christ did.
Consistently Caring – First John 2:23 – Believe on the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another.
Consistently Confident – First John 2:14 – And so I say to you fathers who know the eternal God, and to you young men who are strong with God’s Word in your hearts, and have won your struggle against Satan. Keep doing the will of God.
Consistently Compliant – First John 2:17 -And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
Consistently Consistent – First John 2:24 – So keep on believing what you have been taught from the beginning. If you do, you will always be in a close fellowship with both God the Father and His Son, stay ready to keep from getting ready.
Follow all of the above for the eternal life He has promised us.
