Christian Living

In a previous post I made reference to the problems that can occur when people step beyond the limits of the authority God has given them and try to assert authority over matters which do not belong to them.

Mat 24:13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

God does not promise salvation to those who fail to endure in the tests which are surely coming upon the people of the earth. So don't give up! (See Mark 13:13, Matthew 10:22

Heb 10:36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:
