Episode Synopsis
Dr. Smith elucidates the concept of perseverance, defining it as bearing up under pressure and a key trait of God's people. He highlights the early church's perseverance amidst Roman persecution, leading to the empire's transformation. He emphasizes that Christians, empowered by faith, respond to adversity with love and truth, standing against sin. He references the church in Philadelphia from Revelation, commended by Jesus for their faithfulness despite weakness. Jesus, as the Holy One with the keys of David, holds authority over salvation and judgment. Dr. Smith stresses that faith in Jesus, not works, pleases God. Those who persevere in faith will be vindicated, and God will protect them from the final judgment. He is Lord of all.
