Flash 17: Patient Endurance.

Image
Romans 2:7 [7]To those who by patient persistence in well-doing [springing from piety] seek [unseen but sure] glory and honor and [the eternal blessedness of] immortality, He will give eternal life. We live in a society where convenience reigns as a prevailing thought. Across all domains, from commerce to advancements in technology, the pursuit of convenience is evident. While convenience itself is not inherently negative, it becomes perilous when it undermines qualities like patience and endurance. These virtues, while perhaps undervalued by the worldly individual, form an essential part of the spiritual man's arsenal in the pursuit of their ultimate reward. Paul, in the book of Romans tells us that the spiritual man, through well doing, aspires for glory, honor, immortality, and eternal life. However, what empowers this individual to reach such high goals is their steadfast commitment to well doing. Thus, it is not about convenience; rather, it is about patience and endurance .
