Faith produces perseverance

Test of faith produces perseverance.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

James 1:2‭-‬3 NIVUK.

Gracious and loving greetings in the matchless name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

Trials and tribulations are present in everyone’s life. Nobody in this world can ever claim that their lives are absolutely bed of roses. Even the rich and affluent can ever make a statement of that sort. The only things that differs between the people are the intensity and duration of the trials. From time immemorial, it is the satan who is the root cause of all evil, trails and tribulations for the mankind. Neither good nor bad; neither rich nor poor are exempted from its vile inflictions. In addition to that, even Jesus said in the Bible that we will have tribulations in our lives. The Scripture according to (John 16:33) says:

… In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world

Thus trials and tribulations are everyone’s game. Take heart, Jesus had overcome the world for us. The heavy-weight of sin is already lifted and transferred from us to Jesus. Lord Jesus paid it all on the Calvary. Considering the lives that are set for us in Jesus are light and easy; let us march ahead in faith and in His righteousness. Yes, Jesus calls everyone of us as said in the verses Matt. 11:28-30

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light

Finally brethren, let us fully submit to the living God and live a life full of patience and perseverance. Remember, our test of faith produces perseverance. Let us glorify the mighty name of God through Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
