ADD TO YOUR FAITH PERSISTENCE

'And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, and virtue knowledge, and knowledge temperance; and to patience godliness;...' 2Peter 1:5-6

There is no great achievement that does not require time and persistence. Too many get hold of opportunity but let go of it too soon. Don B. Owen Jr said it well: Many people fail in life because they believe the adage that if you don't succeed, try something else. But success is not attained for those who follow such advice. You will be justified by what you finish not what you start. Impatience is costly. Most people fail simply because they can't see the end from the beginning. The beginning is always rough but the end is glorious. Paul writes 'For our light affliction, which is but a moment, worketh for us as far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory (2Corinthians 4:17)

VALUE FOR TIME

To everything, there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1) Our entire life is measured by time.

He never had the opportunity to be with Jesus physically but he had more revelation of Him than the other Apostle that was with Jesus. He was never ashamed and went about preaching the Gospel of Christ. Each time he remembers his past, he will try to forget and move on.
