“That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things we write to you that our joy may be full … These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may [continue to] believe in the name of the Son of God.” 1Jo 1:3-4; 1Jo 5:13 (emphasis added)
This compilation of notes represents the truths found in the Epistle of First John.

Time To Endure 4
Wisdom is the key to endurance. We have a standing of peace with God and access in His presence (Rom 5:1-2, Eph 1:3-6, Heb 4:16). Enduring trials produces character (Rom 5:3-4). We need to get rid of hindrances to running our race (Heb 12:1-2). Hebrew words for faith illustrate endurance: (1) Amen - pictures a weak man leaning on a staff (Job 13:15); (2) Batach - pictures casting down a wrestling opponent (1Pe 5:7, Psa 55:22)
Scripture References: Romans 5:1-2, Psalms 55:22, Job 13:15, Hebrews 12:1-2, Romans 5:3-4, Hebrews 4:16, Ephesians 1:3-6
