Like all of life, the Christian life requires perseverance, tenacity. Grit. Jesus said that it will be by perseverance we will save our life. The Scriptures tell us that Jesus resolutely determined to go to Jerusalem and that he set his face like flint.  Perseverance means resisting the urge to quit when faced with adversity. In a world entrenched in instant gratification, developing perseverance becomes essential to sustain our faith and navigate life’s challenges.

 

There are instances of feeling overwhelmed, wanting to give up. However, during these tough times, God stands by to provide support and aid in perseverance. Jesus himself exemplified perseverance, overcoming even death to enable us to establish an eternal connection with God. His actions assure us that we can rely on Him for the strength to persist through any challenges we encounter.

 

In this series we will look at how to develop perseverance so that we will persist in our faith and other vital aspects of life.
