If You Continue in My Word…Then, And Only Then…

If you continue are probably the three most powerful words in the bible. If you continue is certainly my most favorite phrase of the bible. In John 8:31-32, Jesus said to those Jews who believed on Him, “If you continue in My Word, then you are my disciples indeed and you will know the truth and the truth will make you free”.

The phrase “if you continue“ makes things happen. It’s impossible to inject the phrase if you continue anywhere and not get results either positive or negative by continuing to do whatever it is you’re doing.

If You Continue Will Always Produce a Result

If you continue fitness training, you will become a great athlete.

If you continue giving to the poor, you will impact many lives.

If you continue working on your relationship, you will have a great marriage.

If you continue saving money, you will build a great nest egg.

If you continue doing anything positive, the result will be a positive one.

If you continue using drugs, you will destroy your body.

If you continue drinking and driving, you will severely hurt or kill someone.

If you continue stealing from your boss, you will lose your job.

If you continue mistreating your spouse, you will wreck your marriage.

If you continue picking a scab, you will cause an infection.

If you continue is a river flowing and carrying you to a destination either good or bad. If you continue doesn’t stand still. If you continue is the avenue by which you use to reach a destination in life.

If you continue is the lazy river of life. When we go on vacation the lazy river is always a hit. A lazy river is a literal river that circles a hotel or resort. A lazy river only has one requirement. That requirement is for you to lay back and continue. If you continue down the lazy river, you will be taken around the hotel or resort. The lazy river will continue pushing you downstream for as long as you continue on it. It’s impossible for you to be taken anyplace other than the course and direction that the lazy river flows in.

The term if you continue works the same way. Look at your life right now. You are the sum total of what you have been continuously doing. Are you extremely smart? It’s because you have been continuously studying. Do you have a great relationship with God? It’s because you devote time to prayer and bible study. Are you very athletic? It’s because you spend time working out. Nothing in life just happens. The key to getting from point A to point B in life is continuing. If you are on a journey to a destination in life, meditate on the phrase if you continue. It’s impossible to continue doing something, yet not see the results of whatever you have been continuously doing.

Set Your Course and Continue

I encourage you to set your course in life and realize that continuing is the key to you reaching your destination. If you continue you will see results. Set your course and apply the principle of continuing to your life knowing that results will eventually come to pass. It’s only a matter of time.
