Grow, Part 8
Nov 5, 2017 • Pastor Joel Gregory
Perseverance involves the idea of bearing up under trials and pressing on in times of tribulation, it means to spurn the trials while still doing what the Lord directs.
Self-control is a daily exercise. Perseverance is self-control exercised today, tomorrow, the next day, and so on which is why we need to “add” perseverance to self-control.
May we heed the admonition given to Timothy to “pursue...patience” in 1 Timothy 6:11. As we develop perseverance we will continue to grow in the knowledge of Jesus Christ!
