A Fruitful Life of Patience

Galatians 5:22-23 | Steven Parkin

We often view our calling to be patient with dread and frustration, but Scripture shows us that patience is a godly virtue. God demonstrates his grace and love to us by bearing with us patiently, giving us time to repent rather than immediately pouring out his righteous wrath on our sin. He then shares his patience with us, infusing us with the ability to bear up in the midst of persecution, provocation, and uncertainty. As we place our hope in Christ, we can endure anything with patience, knowing that God will bring us through what he has prepared for us.
