Persevering in the Faith

The Christian experience comes with its ups and downs. Christians who are committed to living for Jesus and sharing Jesus with others will inevitably win some to Christ and lose some to the world. Regardless, being an effective witness for Jesus requires that we build relationships with people, stand firm in the Word of God, persevere in the faith, and be willing to live a life of sacrifice to advance the mission of the gospel. --- God can do amazing things through ordinary people who are empowered by the Holy Spirit. In the book of Acts, the Holy Spirit was given to all believers and the church was born. The church is God's chosen instrument in the world for sharing the good news about Jesus Christ. The book of Acts is all about the unhindered movement of God throughout the world as the gospel of Jesus Christ is proclaimed through the church. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, the early church was an unstoppable movement that proclaimed the Kingdom of God and Jesus Christ as the only way to eternal life. Today, the church empowered by the Holy Spirit is called to continue God's redeeming work in the world by fulfilling God's mission of making Jesus known to the ends of the earth.
