Holding On

Phillipians 2:16 (NetBible) by holding on to the word of life so that on the day of Christ I will have a reason to boast that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.

We hold on by the way we believe and receive the word.  As we abide in the word and it abides in us, we become more God shaped.  We begin to be transformed.  It will end in our transfiguration.  Leaving God's word, we abandon life.  Holding on to the word allows us to cling to the one thing that will save us - His grace through His Son.
