When Faith Becomes Hard

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. — Romans 8:28

The real issue in our lives is not God's faithfulness, but ours. The history of God's faithfulness to Israel and to his promises is found in the Scriptures. We can depend and rely on him to do what he promises, despite the apparent circumstances of our lives. The real issue is whether or not we choose to truly love him and live for his purposes when life becomes unbearable and faith becomes hard. 

This verse is no platitude, but the life-ring of hope for those with gritty faith who choose to persevere when there is no easy reason for doing so. Faith is rooted in a Savior who triumphed over death, Satan, and sin on the third day while we find ourselves caught up on the second day waiting for the dawn of our full salvation.

Saved

. Through Grace – The Spring

Ephesians 2:5

made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions —it is by grace you have been saved.

In Christ – The Cause

John 10:9

I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.

. By Faith – The Means

Luke 7:50

Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you;  go in peace.”

Bible Tells Us  – 

. A matter before he – 

Proverbs 18:13

To answer before listening—

 that is folly and shame.

. At all acquit the wicked – 

Nehemiah 1:3

They said to me, “Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire. ”
