Good morning everyone! Standing firm is not a way to be saved but the evidence that a person is really committed to Jesus. Endurance is not a means to earn salvation; it is a by-product of a truly devoted life. Endurance grows out of commitment to Jesus Christ. In Matthew 10:22, Jesus predicted that his followers would be severely persecuted by those who hated what he stood for. In the midst of terrible persecutions, however, they could have hope, knowing that salvation was theirs. Times of trial serve to sift true Christians from false or fair-weather Christians. When you are pressured to give up and turn your back on Christ, dont do it. Remember the benefits of standing firm and continue to live for Christ. Read:2 Corinthians 1:24 24 Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm.
