“Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.”
I John 2:24 NKJV

The gospel message is powerful and not to be forgotten. We need to daily be preaching the gospel to ourselves.
If we forget God's love for us, what is to cause us to worship Him daily?
If we forget our sin, what is to keep us from arrogance and forgetting out need for a savior?
If we forget Jesus' death on the cross, what is to keep us from getting mired in our sin?
If we forget our personal relationship with Christ, what is to keep us from feeling we don't belong to Him?
We must remind ourselves of this precious message daily. This should not be something we emptily rehearse, but truths we cling to and abide in.
The gospel is not a place we visit, it is our home. It is the message we return to. It is a ,estate of comfort. It is a place of safety.
Abide in this truth and we shall abide in Him.
