Here are some verses to help!

The work of rebuilding the wall progressed well because the people had set their hearts and minds on accomplishing the task. They did not lose heart or give up, but persevered in the work. If God has called you to a task, determine to complete it, even if you face opposition or discouragement. The rewards of work well done will be worth the effort.

BIBLE READING: Mark 13:1-23
KEY BIBLE VERSE: Everyone will hate you because of your allegiance to me. But those who endure to the end will be saved. Mark 13:13

PERSEVERANCE REVEALS GENUINE BELIEVERS

To believe in Jesus and “endure to the end” will take perseverance, because our faith will be challenged and opposed. Severe trials will sift true Christians from fair-weather believers. Enduring to the end does not earn salvation for us, but marks us as already saved. The assurance of our salvation will keep us going through the times of persecution.

BIBLE READING: Hebrews 3:1-19
KEY BIBLE VERSE: Christ, the faithful Son, was in charge of the entire household. And we are God’s household, if we keep up our courage and remain confident in our hope in Christ. Hebrews 3:6

PERSEVERANCE REVEALS GENUINE FAITH

Because Christ lives in us, we can remain courageous and hopeful to the end. We are not saved by being steadfast and firm in our faith, but our courage and hope do reveal that our faith is real. Without this enduring faithfulness, we could easily be blown away by the winds of temptation, false teaching, or persecution. Hebrews 3:14
