Erlo Stegen emphasizes the importance of remembering the initial revelations and truths God shared with us when we first believed. He warns that many Christians lose their way because they forget the foundational messages that ignited their faith, just as Paul remained steadfast in the Gospel he received. Stegen highlights the necessity for preachers to embody the message they share, stressing that true belief in Jesus' resurrection should transform lives and compel believers to reach out to others. He encourages the congregation to reflect on their own experiences with Christ and to remain faithful to their calling, as forgetting God's words can lead to spiritual decline.
