I cant Hold Out

“I CAN’T HOLD OUT”

Have you ever held back on doing something new because other people were watching you and you were afraid you would flub it? Some people are afraid to try skiing on snow or water, afraid to ride a motorcycle or even a bicycle, afraid even to try cooking a new dish, because they are afraid someone will point and snicker.

Tragically, some put off receiving Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior because they think, “I can’t hold out.” They see that the Christian life is challenging and demanding, and they recognize that they don’t have the strength to do it on their own. These people are RIGHT. They CAN’T hold out in their own strength.

But the Lord Jesus Christ CAN HOLD OUT, and He WILL, for all who put their trust in Him. Jesus Christ Himself will exert His own world-creating and universe-maintaining power for each believer in Him. Fear of your own failure is no excuse to put off receiving Christ as Lord and Savior RIGHT NOW.

The Bible says, “Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He ever lives to make intercession for them.” (Hebrews 7:25 NKJ)

Christians have the resources of all the promises of God energized by the power of the Holy Spirit and guaranteed and administered by the Living King Jesus Christ. He is the One who saves “to the uttermost”, forever and completely, all those who put their trust in Him.

You can find out more about these resources promised to believers by reading the New Testament for yourself. We suggest that you start in the Gospel of John or the letters of Peter.

But don’t wait. Trust Him today.
