1 Thessalonians 3:8 (KJV)
“For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.”
To stand fast is to be stationary or to persevere. We cannot allow ourselves to wonder off if we really want to live; get all up in here and stay here.
Something to be said about being stationary, “But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you” (1 Peter 5:10). ...
It takes some suffering to persevere; we are not really living up in here until we have worked through some things and come out on the other end still up in here.
