The Creator Exists!
What is Real Endurance?
Matthew chapter 24 verses 12 and 13:- 12 and because of the increasing of lawlessness, the love of the greater number will grow cold. 13 But the one who has endured to the end will be saved.
Proper View of Trials: Knowing that a person’s eternal future depends on endurance and that he can be confident of assistance from on high, Christians should not dread trials and tribulations, resenting them or giving in to complaint, self-pity, or bitterness. since we know that tribulation produces endurance.” Trials borne patiently and steadfastly with divine help reveal that a Christian possesses the needed quality of endurance, something that was unknown before the tribulation began.
Throughout our lives we often have to face problems whether physical or mental that will cause us anguish with what seems like no way out! For a true Christian this can be difficult to handle, and we struggle to find a way to overcome the harm and hurt it may be causing? But what we need to remember is that there is a right way and a wrong way to approach any tribulations we may suffer. At times like this we may need to endure the problem in order to keep our faith secure without wavering!
Endure Tribulation.
Romans chapter 12 verse 12:- 12 Rejoice in the hope. Endure under tribulation. Persevere in prayer.
Nothing strengthens our faith in Jehovah like enduring when under trial, and by letting the trial run its full course without any attempts to use unscriptural means to bring it to a swift end. Then the result allows our faith to be tested and refined, and its sustaining power will be revealed because areas of weakness may be exposed, it may also help to put a Christian in a position to see defects and to make needed improvements. Your reliance through prayer to Jehovah by your enduring trials faithfully can make a person more patient, sympathetic, compassionate, kind, and loving when dealing with fellow humans, and this is pleasing to Jehovah.
It is difficult to remain happy when you are suffering, the natural thing to do for most people is to complain or be angry and react to your situation in a very negative way, but none of this is going to make the problem go away. That is why a smile and silence is often the best course for you and everyone else, in time with endurance the tribulation will become easier to handle and will eventually go away or become less important, and always remember that your problem was not in any way caused by God!
Tested Quality of Faith.
James chapter 1 verses 2 to 4:- 2 Consider it all joy, my brothers, when you meet with various trials, 3 knowing as you do that this tested quality of your faith produces endurance. 4 But let endurance complete its work, so that you may be complete and sound in all respects, not lacking in anything.
We all endure things throughout our lives, and you may hear someone say "Just get on with it!" and that is exactly what you should do! The scripture above advises us all to persevere when facing various trials. Use the experience to strengthen your faith, remember that Jehovah sees endurance as a proof of integrity, and a needed quality for all of his faithful people, and the end result of enduring tribulation is a faith strengthened and an encouragement.
An End to Tribulation?
This world system is soon to be destroyed, and we all will face many tribulations until it is no more, so keep in mind the words of Jesus Christ (below), and prepare yourselves NOW for the great tribulation that is just ahead, because even if you have not been tested up until now, all of us will be tested during that time! Real faith and trust in Jehovah's saving power will guide you through any tribulations that undoubtedly will come upon you, so work now to keep your faith strong and never give up in doing what is fine, and always remember the endurance of Job!
Matthew chapter 10 verse 22:- 22 And you will be hated by all people on account of my name, but the one who has endured to the end will be saved.
