Perseverance
Genuine religion is shown by its power of persistence. (F. B. Meyer, 19th-20th century British pastor and writer)
One of the many characteristics of a person of “genuine religion” is endurance. His faith is steadfast, not giving in to momentary lapses. He or she is also persistent in reaching and helping those in need, as James describes: “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction.” (James 1:27)
Make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness. (2 Peter 1:5-6)
