This entry explores the biblical understanding of "firmly" as it relates to faith, character, and the believer's relationship with God.<br><br><b>Firmly Established in Faith</b><br><br>The New Testament frequently encourages believers to be firmly established in their faith. In <a href="/colossians/2-6.htm">Colossians 2:6-7</a> , the Apostle Paul writes, "Therefore, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him, established in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness." Here, the imagery of being "rooted" and "built up" suggests a deep, unwavering foundation in Christ, which is essential for spiritual growth and resilience against false teachings.<br><br>Similarly, in <a href="/ephesians/3-17.htm">Ephesians 3:17</a> , Paul prays that Christ may dwell in the hearts of believers "through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love." This passage highlights the importance of a firm foundation in love, which is central to the Christian life and witness.<br><br><b>Firmly Holding to the Truth</b><br><br>The Bible also emphasizes the need to hold firmly to the truth of God's Word. In <a href="/1_corinthians/15.htm">1 Corinthians 15:1-2</a> , Paul reminds the Corinthians of the gospel he preached to them, "by which you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you." This exhortation underscores the necessity of clinging to the truth of the gospel for salvation and spiritual endurance.<br><br>In <a href="/hebrews/10-23.htm">Hebrews 10:23</a> , believers are encouraged to "hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful." This verse calls for a steadfast commitment to the hope found in Christ, rooted in the faithfulness of God.<br><br><b>Firmly Standing Against Opposition</b><br><br>The Bible acknowledges that believers will face opposition and challenges, yet they are called to stand firm. In <a href="/ephesians/6-13.htm">Ephesians 6:13</a> , Paul instructs believers to "take up the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and having done everything, to stand." This passage highlights the spiritual battle Christians face and the need for divine strength and protection to remain steadfast.<br><br>In <a href="/1_peter/5-9.htm">1 Peter 5:9</a> , believers are urged to "resist [the devil], standing firm in your faith, and in the knowledge that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering." This call to resistance emphasizes solidarity among believers and the shared experience of trials.<br><br><b>Firmly Anchored in Hope</b><br><br>The concept of being firmly anchored is also associated with hope. <a href="/hebrews/6-19.htm">Hebrews 6:19</a> describes hope as "an anchor for the soul, firm and secure." This metaphor illustrates the stabilizing effect of hope in Christ, providing security and assurance amidst life's uncertainties.<br><br><b>Firmly Committed to Righteousness</b><br><br>The Bible calls believers to a firm commitment to righteousness and godly living. In <a href="/psalms/1-3.htm">Psalm 1:3</a> , the righteous person is likened to "a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does." This imagery of a firmly planted tree signifies stability and fruitfulness resulting from a life committed to God's ways.<br><br>In conclusion, the biblical concept of being "firmly" established encompasses a steadfast faith, unwavering commitment to truth, resilience against opposition, and a secure hope in Christ. These elements are essential for a vibrant and enduring Christian life.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>adv.</I>) In a firm manner.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/2043.htm"><span class="l">2043. ereido -- to prop, to fix <b>firmly</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> to prop, to fix <b>firmly</b>.
