Blessed Is the Man Who Endures Temptation... (June 1998)

June 1998
Volume 7, Number 6

Life in this world is full of temptations. None of us are exempted from the lure of illicit things and acts. God, however, has called us to a life of avoiding, enduring and overcoming the steady barrage of temptations life throws at us. With His help, we will master temptation and receive his promised rewards.  (CGG Photo)

The Fruit of the Spirit:
Patience

From the Bible's perspective, patience is far more than simple endurance or longsuffering. The patience that God has shown man collectively and individually gives us an example of what true, godly patience is. It is this kind of patience that Paul urges us to put on as part of the new man.
