We Must Continue In The Faith

SCRIPTURE
Acts 14:22
"Strengthen the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, “We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.”

OBSERVATION
This verse plainly says to us that we MUST go through many trials, the testing ground to the growth of our faith. We need to strongly urge each other in the midst of trouble to not give up and keep our eyes on the prize, entering the Kingdom of God.

APPLICATION
The sharing of our lives with other believers is crucial, so that we can encourage each other to keep going and not give up. If you don’t have a small group to share your life with, join one. These groups play an important role in our Christian walk. Iron sharpens iron.

PRAYER
Lord I ask for encouragement to those who are going through trials. You said you will never leave us nor forsake us and that your burden is light. Give us strength to overcome the trial laid before us. That our faith may grow and that our testimony will help others. Help us to keep our eye on the prize which is entering the Kingdom of God. Amen
