Following Christ will bring troubles; but stand firm - God is with us and will one day give us a crown of righteousness.
Through the example we have been shown, and the inspired words of God - we are able to live godly lives that last.
Through God's glorious grace, complete redemption is found in Christ alone.
Because we have been chosen by grace - our response should be one of grace!
Our only hope in life and death comes through a Suffering Saviour and our future glory with Him.
Through all the seasons of life, God holds our times in His hands.
We strive against foes - but Christ gives us victory.
Be strengthened and encouraged to stand firm in the faith until He comes.
