Read: 1 Thessalonians
1:1-6
Meditation: As we look at these verse and others in the Bible
we may have a question that goes like this: is the message of the
gospel, you must endure to the end in order to be saved; or is the
message of the gospel, you shall endure to the end because you are
saved. The answer two both of these questions is yes! For salvation is
both the reward of endurance, and the free gift of grace. We endure in
order to inherit the blessings of heaven and because we are sure that
the blessing of heaven are ours.
Prayer Starter: Lord help me to endure to the end and I give
you thanks for giving me the hope that will help me to endure to the
end. 
Read: Ezekiel 36:24-27
Meditation: We learn from these verses that the people of God Shall
endure in the path of obedience. "I Shall put the fear of
me in their hearts, that they may not turn from me!" I Shall
put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes."
Endurance is a promised gift of the new covenant. It is one of the great Shalls
of God's grace!
Prayer Starter: Lord, thank You for the strength and how You
sustain me in Your hope.
Read: Philippians 1:3-6
Meditation: God will do it for us. God shall keep us faithful in
the Lord and the ministry we have been given until the end. He will give us
the endurance we need to continue.
Prayer Starter: Lord, thank You for empowering me with Your
endurance. Continue this until my mission on this world is over.
Read: 1 Corinthians 1:4-9
Meditation: If it is God who calls you into the fellowship of his
Son, God will give you the endurance to see it through to the end. These
verses and others from 1 Thessalonians 5:24 and Romans 8:30 support that God
will be there and give us the endurance we need.
Prayer Starter: Lord, I know that the path from justification to
glorification is a path of obedience, and yet Your promise is to give us
what we need to endure.
Read: Hebrews 13:20-21
Meditation: This is a blood-bought blessing of the new covenant.
It is the commitment of God never to turn away from doing us good and to
work in us what is pleasing in His sight and this causes us to endure in
obedience to the end. Endurance is a gift and guarantee of the new covenant
sealed by the blood of Jesus, and it is for all who trust in Him.
Prayer Starter: Lord, thank You for giving me such a precious gift
of endurance and thank You that Jesus was willing to shed His blood to give
it to me.
Read: Hebrews 10:35-39
Meditation:
You need to endure so that you can do the will of God so that you
can obtain what is promised to us by God. The inheritance is only given
to those who endure in obedience to do the will of God. In may ways
these passages point to two different scriptures because they have two
different purposes, but in another way they are perfectly one.
Prayer Starter: Lord, help me to let go of the worldly hope
and trust only in You for the forgiveness of sins, which gives me the
power to endure and the hope of everlasting life.
