We can hope to be mature followers of Christ, but in the end, unless we train, we cannot finish strong.

On His last evening before the crucifixion, Jesus broke bread with His disciples, one of whom later betrayed him and another who would deny Him three times. Yet, Jesus loved each one of them, even though He knew what would happen and how they would hurt Him.

The Bible reminds us time after time to build a foundation in Christ. A deep-rooted foundation allows Christians to grow in God’s truth and deepen their faith.
