We must have PATIENCE, PEACE AND PERSEVERANCE to DAILY take up the CROSS OF JESUS to FAITHFULLY endure this lifetime to the END knowing that our REWARD is EVERLASTING LIFE (Matthew 24:36, 25;31-34) (John 3:16-18) (Revelation 21:1-5).

Whatever we face every day in this world, let us remember the sufferings of our Lord JESUS who died for the sins of the world, and at no time did he open his mouth to complain when he won the victory on Calvary (Luke 23:23).

The Apostle Paul reminds us when he said: “THEREFORE being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

[AND NOT ONLY SO, BUT WE GLORY IN TRIBULATIONS ALSO: KNOWING THAT TRIBULATION WORKETH PATIENCE;

AND PATIENCE, EXPERIENCE; AND EXPERIENCE, HOPE]:

And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him” (Romans 5:1-9).

 

 “So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your [PATIENCE AND FAITH IN ALL YOUR PERSECUTIONS AND TRIBULATIONS THAT YE ENDURE]:

Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, [THAT YE MAY BE COUNTED WORTHY OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD], for which ye also suffer:

Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 1:4-12).

“Grace be with all them that [LOVE] our Lord Jesus Christ in [SINCERITY]. Amen” (Ephesians 6:23-24).

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” (2 Corinthians 13:14).
