Such an unshakable, reliable, firm guarantee — such an anchor for the soul — will make us more steadfast in time. The steadfastness of Christ makes us want to be more steadfast. To not be flighty, fickle, impulsive, and momentary in our loves for what matters most, but settled and stable, fixed and firm. There is an order. His steadfastness comes first, then ours. We can become steadfast because he is steadfast. So twice in Scripture’s final book, we hear a call for the steadfastness of the saints (Revelation 13:10; 14:12). Be steadfast, church, in a world of crashing waves. As the tides rise, be immovable (1 Corinthians 15:58). Be stable, not shifting (Colossians 1:23). Stay the course “in all your persecutions and in the afflictions that you are enduring” (2 Thessalonians 1:4). Be steadfast under trial (James 1:12).
