I need to be reminded!

1 Corinthians 15:1-8 reads, "Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born."

This passage is very encouraging to me because this church was new, young, and had many miraculous gifts of the holy spirit, yet they needed to be reminded of what was most important. They needed to be reminded of the gospel they initially fell in the love with! The wonderful news of Christ their savior. I am just like this! I, too, need to be reminded of what is most important. Jesus suffered for my sins, not just the ones I committed before giving my life to him, but even for the ones I committed everyday since then and will commit tomorrow! He took my punishment! He suffered the horrible consiquences that were mine to suffer! Thank you Jesus and remind me each and every day of the treasure you are! I know I need to hold firmly to this so my belief will not end up being in vain. I don't really understand or know what it means to hold firmly, but I am on this journey right now to find out! What is it I need to do to be holding firm? What is it I need to repent of? What is holding me back instead of firm?
