Religious Steadfastness
Acts 11:23
Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all…


I. We exhort you to this DECISION AND MANIFESTATION OF CHARACTER. "Cleave unto the Lord," consecrate yourselves to Him.

II. We exhort you TO ADHERE TO THE FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS OF THE GOSPEL. "Cleave unto the Lord" in His personal character as revealed in the sacred Scriptures.

III. We exhort you to cherish A SPIRIT OF CHARITY TO ALL WHO DIFFER. The difference of Christians on minor points proves the truth of the great ones on which they are agreed.

IV. We exhort you TO PROMOTE THE WORSHIP OF GOD. Attend to private, to family, and to public worship.

V. We exhort you to vigorous attempts TO RECOVER SINNERS.

(J. Liefchild, D. D.)
