Persevere

2 Thessalonians 1

Christians are called to live a life glorifying to God.  Sometimes, Christians assume that the Christian life is going to be easy.  This idea is very incorrect because 2 Thessalonians chapter 1 clearly speaks of how Paul, Silvanus and Timothy endured hardships during their walk with God.  They endured persecution for the cause of Christ.

Application: Don’t expect the Christian life to be easy, and painless.  God will allow trials and hardships to occur to test our faith and dependence on God.
