Therefore, among God's churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring.
All this is evidence that God's judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering. (2 Thessalonians 1:4- 5 NIV84)
Perseverance. Faith in suffering. It's not always easy to keep the faith. Perseverance is simply about the ability to keep keeping on. There are no promises that life will be easy. One of the biggest misnomers in Christianity is that once you accept Christ, everything will be hunky sport. The opposite is often true.
Trials and hard times will come. That's when our faith is put to the test. Know that God walks with us through those difficulties. That's the great promise of Scripture. So, whatever you're going through...keep keeping on. Be worthy of the Kingdom.
