But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.
2 Thessalonians 2:13-15 (NKJV)
The Lord demands that we put our whole hope and trust in Him and nothing else. Knowing fully well the fierce and subtle onslaught of the adversary on our claim to salvation in the segment of time, we are to stand firm and hold steadfastly on not the traditions of man, but on the word that has been revealed to us by His Spirit and the scriptures. In casting our burden upon Him, we set ourselves up for peace, which must precede any divine increase and growth in our lives.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.
2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 (NKJV)
Having done all things, let us remain resolute, stand firm and see the goodness of the Lord as we continue to abound in every good word and work to His glory.
Be Encouraged,
Afolabi
