A person may fail once, twice or even a hundred times. And they may give up because of the extreme stress of busyness and the hustle and bustle of life and it's attacks. But a person born again by God's loving grace and mercy can never give up because they have the most powerful person in the entire universe. The power of the Holy Spirit God bestows upon each believer in Him causes them to do things that are just incredibly miraculous that only God could do through us by the power of His Holy Spirit. One thing a true follower of Jesus never does is give up. True believers in the past have martyred for their faith in Christ. Two things I can applaud them for is perseverance and faith. These faithful followers have stayed true to God throughout the ages and have even been killed for their strong faith in Christ, which I find incredibly amazing. So if theses courageous can stand up for their faith and become martyres for it, why can't we present Christians act out our faith and be persecuted in the same way and be mocked for it? I'm not saying we should be killed, but we should stand up for our faith in Christ no matter what the cost. And I would be willing to do the same thing.
Don't give up
Don't back down
Or you'll never get the crown. James 1:12
