I Corinthians 2:16, "We (Christians) are to work at becoming more like Christ, growing to have the mind of Christ (led by His Holy Spirit.)" The wiles of the devil and the world hate this and brings condemnation upon the LORD's Church. (John 15:18-19) Persevere, for His angels assist us and He knows what we can persevere and will not allow more than we can bear. (1 Corinthians 10:13)
Our earthly existence is a classroom in the School of Life. We can pass our courses by following GOD's WORD, or we can be expelled to eternal hell for failing to receive His Truth. Each of us has the choice to accept or reject the work we have in preparation (with this earthly life.) GOD has you to make the final decision of passing or failing! So the excuse the world makes is, "If GOD is Loving, He wouldn't send people to hell." Your right, in two ways! 1. You make the choice in rejecting His free gift of salvation in Jesus taking the penalty of your sins upon Himself. 2. Almighty GOD is Just and hates sin, yet He was willing to take yours upon Himself on the cross. Even Satan, the devil, knows there's a hell and he trembles knowing his time is short before he is sent there for all eternity (with the Lost that reject Christ.) This can be found in James 2:19 and Revelation 12:12.
Persevere! Call upon the Name of the LORD and He will save you. (Acts 2:21) There is no greater harm that can come upon the LORD's Church, that there isn't an even greater reward given which He has promised to us in Eternity! (Matt. 10:28) Persevere!
Charles Stanley shares, "Look at trials in life not as a reason to quit, but as opportunities that can assist us in reaching goals." (In Touch magazine, 8/04/14)
Life is a classroom for learning. Follow the Teacher, the Man of Galilee (Jesus). He will teach you as you travel this path to glory with Him leading you through the twists and decisions of this life below. Persevere as you look forward to your graduation into His glorious Presence!
