SO you thought the Christian life was going to be easy? Well, it is so far as salvation is concerned. However, this life with all of its trials and temptations can wear you down if you try to live it in your own strength. Be encouraged! Perseverance through the trials will produce growth in the Lord. Be mindful of those who have persevered in the past; this w_1I help you to "keep on keeping on". Remember the inheritance God has for you in heaven. As the enemy attacks, let the joy of the Lord be your strength. You are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus!
