Understanding Endurance As A Christian

Understanding Endurance As A Christian: Situations in life can be hard sometimes and we can feel overwhelmed. Giving up in life often comes to our mind but that’s not what God excepts from us.

What Is Endurance?

Endurance  is the ability to persevere through a test without giving in or trembling.

We have to understand that God allows us to go through hard times because that’s where we grow in faith. We learn to endure by having our faith tested. We must learn to endure everything so that we can grow.

There are many bible verses that shows us the importance of endurance as a christian.

The New Testament makes it clear that, for the Christian, developing endurance is essential. It tells us “the way is hard that leads to life” (Matthew 7:14), and fiery trials most certainly will befall us (1 Peter 4:12).

In James 1:3-4  “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything”
“you have need of endurance” (Hebrews 10:36) because “by your endurance you will gain your lives” (Luke 21:19).
We have to know that the only way for us to pass through trails is to trust and depend on God. God loves us and he will not allow trials that are bigger than us to come to us.
