“Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.”
James 1:12
Scriptures constantly say we are blessed when we persevere under trial. God understood we would be constantly under some kind of persecution. That’s why He inspired the Gospel writers to talk about it so much. It was to prepare us for what was about to happen to us.
All people coming to know Jesus as Lord and Saviour need to know that Christianity is not a cake walk. Someone told me it’s more like a bed of roses very beautiful roses but full of thorns that test our faith from time to time.
The result of persevering for our faith however is that we will one day receive a crown of life. Eternal life offered freely to those who love the Lord Jesus Christ
