Stand Firm to the End

By Rev. Jake SantiagoSeptember 6, 20261 min read

Following Christ is not easy, but God calls us to be strong and faithful, and He never leaves us.

The story

Being a Christian is not easy. Some days we grow tired, afraid, or hurt, and we wonder whether we can keep going. But God calls us to be brave, to stay faithful, to remain committed, and to keep growing.

The trials we go through are not always a sign of defeat. Sometimes they are God’s way of strengthening us, shaping us, and preparing us for a greater purpose. So do not give up. Stand firm to the end, because wherever God leads us, He will never leave us.

“Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9, NLT)
