“Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer…be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.” Rev. 2:10‬ ‭KJV‬‬
This was Jesus’ promise to a suffering people, and it is still true. Suffering will test and try us. But we must determine, by God’s grace, that we are going to remain true and faithful to Christ. It takes more than a one time confession, it takes being faithful unto death. The good news is, His grace is sufficient to keep us.
