How to Keep from Falling

Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. How to keep from falling. For thou hast delivered my soul from death, Wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living? Psalm fifty six thirteen. Once a person receives Christ as his Savior, he must begin and then continue in the Christian life.

There will be many temptations, sorrows, and difficulties along the way, however, as well as many pressures to recant. How is the babe in Christ to keep from stumbling and falling? The answer, of course, is that we are kept by the same grace that saved us in the first place. The Lord Jesus died to save us from eternal death in hell. surely we can be saved by his life from falling while living.

Our beautiful text verse anticipates this great New Testament truth If the Lord can deliver my soul from death, surely He can keep my feet from falling. Other wonderful verses in the Psalms give the same assurance. For example, The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delighteth in His way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand. It is important that each person professing faith in Christ be sure that his faith is real, founded on the true Jesus Christ as Creator, Redeemer, and Lord, and not a sentimental faith in another Jesus or another gospel.

As Peter urges, Give diligence to make your calling and election sure, for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall. And then, in the last words of the New Testament before the book of Revelation, we are directed again to Christ.

Now, unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen. What a blessed assurance is this. If you've enjoyed today's devotional, be sure to subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts. And please rate and review so more listeners can find us.
