Why Does The Bible Remind Us Of The Same Things

Over and Over Again … Why All The Repetition?

Scripture

1 Corinthians 16

¹³ Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. ¹⁴ And do everything with love.

Observation

Have you ever noticed how many times in scripture that we are told to be courageous and to be strong? How many times in scripture have we been told to be on our guard and to stand firm in the faith? How many times in scripture have we been told to do everything with love? 

Why all the repetition? 

Because it is easy for us to be off our guard and to get caught in sin and it is easy for us to wobble in our faith. So many things cause us to Fear that we have to be constantly reminded to be courageous and so many things cause us to be weak that we have to constantly be reminded to be strong. Our natural tendency is not to do everything with love so we have to be constantly reminded. 

That is why it is so important to be in God’s Word everyday. If we are not in His Word everyday then we won’t be reminded to be on our guard or to stand firm in our faith. We will tend to be “Wimps” when we should be courageous and we will be weak when we should be strong. And we won’t do everything with love!

Read God’s Word everyday!

 Application

I will strive to be in God’s Word everyday. How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me take the time to read Your Word everyday. I know that it is Your desire that we constantly be in Your Word. I pray for the folks at church that they would begin to do the same thing. I pray that Your Word would do a powerful work in my life and in the lives of those that attend Christ Fellowship! Thank You for reminding me today to be on my guard, to stand firm in my faith, to be courageous, to be strong, and to do everything with love.
