Faith is an Active Project
Commentators explain that "building up yourselves on your most holy faith" is a continuous, active process. Faith is not a one-time event but a foundation upon which believers must constantly build. This spiritual construction project, grounded in the core truths of the gospel, is the believer's direct contrast to the destructive influence of false teachers.
