Scriptures On Endurance And Perseverance
Here are some scriptures on endurance and perseverance.
These last days I have been thinking about the power of perseverance. There are so many things that only can be achieved through being perseverant.
I think being perseverant is hard at times. Naturally, I tend to jump from one project to another. Keeping my focus and keeping on going when I don’t see instant results is challenging.
Still, I think we often are called to keep on going, no matter the circumstances.
What is perseverance?
According to Cambridge Dictionary perseverance is a continued effort to do or achieve something, even when this is difficult or takes a long time.
Perseverance is needed when life is hard and when you don’t see the results that you wish you would fast enough.
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.”
2 Timothy 4:7-8
In 2 Timothy Paul says that he has fought the good fight. Life is a fight. No one will live life without a fight.
There is a fight that we all are facing. Sometimes we feel like we are in the thick of it and sometimes we feel like life is a breeze.
We are all in different seasons.
If you right now are in the middle of the fight, feeling exhausted, we hope these Bible verses will be encouraging to you.
Scriptures on Endurance and Perseverance
“Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.”
Romans 5:3-5
“Suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” Perseverance is produced in suffering. Perseverance is not produced in times when life is easy but in suffering.
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
Galatians 6:9
“Let us not become weary in doing good.” Let’s not become weary in doing good, no matter if we see the result of our effort right now, let’s not become weary in doing good.
“In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 1:4-6
“He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” He who began a good work in you, will carry it on to completion.
“You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.”
Hebrews 10:36
Hebrews chapter 10 verse 36 says that we need to persevere so that when we have done the will of God, we will receive what he has promised.
We need perseverance in doing the will of God. Staying firm in times of opposition takes perseverance.
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love always perseveres! God has always loved us with a love that always trusts, hopes, and perseveres.
“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:37-39
God has equipped you with his eternal love. There is nothing that can separate you from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus.
Being perseverant has often for me meant letting go of my own agenda. Sometimes we need to let go of control and just be in his presence and allow God to fill us up with patience and hope for the future.
God is so close to you and is always there to equip you as you take steps in the things that he is calling you into.
