A FORGOTTEN SPIRITUAL LAW OF GOD
God has mandated the subjects that we must study in the University of Faith, but God has given man a free will to succeed or fail! Galatians 6:7-10
PATIENCE
Webster’s definition of patience: The state, quality, ability or fact of being patient; the will or ability to wait or endure without complaint; steadfastness, endurance, or perseverance in performing a task.
If we want to learn patience, there is only one place to go, and that is to sit at the feet of Jesus:
Jesus dealt with unbelief. Matthew 17:14-21
Jesus was in the garden of Gethsemane. Matthew 26:36-46
Jesus met Judas Iscariot. verses 47-50
Jesus was abused by the Jewish leadership. verses 57-75
Jesus was abused by Pilate. Luke 23:1-25
Jesus was abused by the Roman soldiers. Mark 15:15-20
Jesus was nailed to the cross. Matthew 27:33-37
Jesus was mocked while hanging on the cross. Mark 15:29-32
Bonus Scripture: ISAIAH 53
Jesus had more than 12 legions of angels (84,000) available to him. Matthew 26:53-54
Jesus came to seek and save lost men. John 3:16-21
Jesus indeed is our high priest. Hebrews 4:14-16
Tribulations work patience in our lives. Romans 5:1-5
It takes patience to finish our work on this earth. Hebrews 10:35-39
Let us finish the work God has given us. Hebrews 12:1-13
Let us keep the word of Jesus’ patience. Revelation 3:7-13
Remember, it’s not so important how you begin your life after salvation, but how you finish it!
