Enduring Well as We Journey With Godනියැදිය

The Foundation of Endurance

“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:23 (ESV)

Christian endurance does not begin with willpower but with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Because of His sacrifice, we can hold fast to our hope without wavering. God Himself is our model of endurance, abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

The Hebrew word hesed—often translated “steadfast love”—occurs throughout the Old Testament to describe God’s enduring commitment to His people. Despite humanity’s rebellion, His love never ceases. He did not give up on us before we were saved, and He does not abandon us when we falter in sin.

If God’s endurance toward us is so great, how can we not be encouraged to endure in Him? The examples of faithful saints—both biblical and modern—remind us that endurance is possible when rooted in God’s faithfulness. Like a soldier looking to a seasoned commander, we look to Christ and those who have walked faithfully before us.

Even when the culture around us shifts, God’s faithfulness remains steady. Our endurance is grounded in the unchanging nature of His promises. When we root our hope in His Word, we stand firm despite storms that seek to shake us.
