Endurance and Faithfulness from the Saints
Christianity is not a destination. It is a long journey. It is not a sprint. It is a marathon. Christianity is not one time decision. It is a life-long walk with Christ that starts with a decision. All of these things point to the fact that saints, Christians, must have endurance and faithfulness. (Revelation 13:10) Of course, there are times when it takes a lot of endurance and faithfulness. The time of the Antichrist will be one of the worst times for the saints. However, we can rejoice in God's provision for all of His children in all times.
During the Tribulation time, the Antichrist and his forces will imprison many Christians and kill many of them, too. Others will starve to death, because they will not take the mark of the beast, so they will not be able to buy or sell anything. This will be the supreme test of the endurance and faithfulness of the saints. However, each one will pass the test, because of the gracious provision of God in their lives. God gives all Christians the ability to endure temptations, trials, and very difficult circumstances. The reality is that God's grace is sufficient for whatever we need to live and to be faithful. We can't do it ourselves, but with His power we will overcome anything Satan throws at us and be victorious. That is why we have the Whole Armor of God. (Ephesians 6:10-18) This is the sign of every true believer in Jesus. We will endure and remain faithful. I pray we all realize this and are doing well. If not, we need to make sure we know Him.

Tomorrow, I intend to read Revelation 14-16.
