The Patience And Faith Of The Saints
Scripture
He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
(Revelation 13:10)
Devotional
This text is not about captivity or swords. It is all about the patience and faith of the saints, who we are. By faith and through patience we shall obtain the promises of God. It is the spiritual law of sowing and reaping. If we live a faithful life we shall with patience reap the fruit of that life. If we sow a life of discord we will patiently have to reap the harvest of that life. Listen to Galatians, “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” God demands of His saints patience and faith. Patience is the ability to remain the same in any situation. Faith is the ability to believe, trust and obey God and His word. Without faith we cannot please God, and without patience we cannot possess our souls. Therefore, patiently have faith in God. He will bring about that which He has promised.
