Believers life of contending for the faith.

Believers life of contending for the faith.

Jude  1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saint.

Philippians  1:17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.

True believers of all ages are set to contend for the faith or defend the gospel, sometimes with their blood.

Our Master and Lord said, you have peace only in Him, but trouble in the world.

John  16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

When you truly receive God’s words in the Bible and you are willing to obey it, the world will have you.

John  17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

This hatred must never surprise or move you.

1 John  3:13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

Your heart must be fully prepared to damn the consequences of living for Christ.

Acts  14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

2 Timothy  3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

However, you can be rest assured that, you will enjoy the companionship of the Master at all times during unavoidable persecutions.

The three Hebrews, Daniel, Bible days believers all experienced, this including John the beloved.

Our Master and Lord Jesus Christ said, you must endure to the end and the rewards are indescribable.

Matthew  10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Matthew  24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Revelation  2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.  2:25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.

Revelation  3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.  3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

1 Peter  1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

2 Timothy  4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

His unfailing grace will be sufficient for you to the end.

2 Corinthians  9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

Let us pray.
