TRUTH: Love does not retreat in the midst of challenge!

I endure because…

1. God’s grace is too great to keep for myself
2 Timothy 2:10 :: Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

2. The reward is too great to miss
Matthew 10:22 :: and you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

3. It is the example of the One I pursue!
Hebrews 12:2 :: looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

What does this mean for me?
With Jesus, I’m capable of enduring more than I think
