How do we stand firm in the faith? We must be uncompromising about what we believe. The Bible is true and reliable and should be our guide for everything we do. 2 Peter 1:3 If we accept Scripture as an authoritative revelation from God we have a solid foundation in which to stand on.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. (Luke 21:33)
So shall My word be which goes forth from My mouth. It shall not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I send it. (Isaiah 55:11)
For it is not an idle word for you; indeed it is your life.

And so we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. (2 Peter 1:19)
