Remember these things!

2 Peter 1:15

And I will make every effort to see that after my departure, you will always be able to remember these things.

Outstanding coaches constantly review the basics of the sport with their teams, and good athletes can execute the fundamentals consistently well. We must not neglect the basis of our faith when we study deeper truths. Just as the athlete needs constant practice, we need constant reminders of our faith's fundamentals and how we came to believe in the first place. Don't allow yourself to be bored or impatient with messages on the basics of the Christian life. Instead, take the attitude of an athlete who continues to practice and refine the basics even as he or she learns more advanced skills.
