You will persevere in faith by resisting discouragement, standing firm in Christ, and holding on to the confidence that brings eternal reward.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And Napoleon once said, “Conquest has made me what I am, and conquest must maintain me.” When it comes to continuing in the faith, you can say the same: “The conquest of Christ has made you what you are, and conquest must sustain you.” Friend, that’s what perseverance means. You are only a conqueror and will receive a crown if you continue in the faith. The world, the flesh, and the devil will try to discourage and dissuade you. The world will try to prevent you from pressing on to glory. Your flesh will try to distract you. The devil will whisper, “Give it up. The Christian life is too hard, too demanding.” But Hebrews 10, has stirring words for every conqueror, “Do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.” Good news today from joniandfriends.org.
