Persistence <\/span>\u2014 <\/span>Part 1<\/p>\n

Persistence is a word we hear all through life. Our parents encourage us to be persistent when things don\u2019t seem to go right and we want to throw up our hands and give up trying. Our teachers tell us to persist when it came to learning and studying. \u201cNothing comes easy,\u201d they say. Employers like employees that will persevere in their business and seek to overcome obstacles as they present themselves. But what about our Christian life? Here are some things that the Holy Scriptures admonish us to persist in:<\/p>\n

\u201cFight the good fight of faith\u201d<\/span> (1 Timothy 6:12).<\/p>\n

\u201cStand fast in the Lord\u201d<\/span> (Philippians 4:1).<\/p>\n

\u201cHold fast\u201d<\/span> (Revelation 2:25).<\/p>\n

\u201cWatch and pray\u201d<\/span> (Matthew 26:41).<\/p>\n

\u201cRun with patience (endurance)\u201d <\/span>(Hebrews 12:1).<\/p>\n

\u201cEarnestly contend for the faith\u201d<\/span> (Jude 3).<\/p>\n

\u201cPress toward the mark\u201d<\/span> (Philippians 3:14).<\/p>\n

\u201cEndure hardness\u201d<\/span> (2 Timothy 2:3).<\/p>\n

\u201cStrive lawfully\u201d<\/span> (2 Timothy 2:5).<\/p>\n
