Long Suffering and Endurance

Charisma and CharacterSteve Gregg
In his discussion on the fruit of the Spirit, Steve Gregg narrows his focus to the concept of long suffering and endurance. He synthesizes information from Ephesians 4 and Colossians 3 to explain the interrelationship between humility and long suffering, or patience. Gregg emphasizes that spiritual endurance and patience can only be achieved through the Lord, and that hope towards God inspires hupomone, or perseverance, in trials. He also cautions against impatience and eagerness, highlighting the need to wait patiently on the Lord for renewed strength.
