Patience of the saints 2

 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Revelation 14:12

 

So here we have more about the patience of the saints as it was seen in their patience and faith. Here we see it seen in keeping commandments and faith. While we are waiting and while these Revelation saints are waiting we can’t just sit back at ease, God’s patience means that in the meantime we need to be obeying Him and following His commandments.

 

I like what Paul said when he wrote to Thessalonica about waiting for Jesus. He’s not worried about the time, but he does say that while we are waiting we need to busy about living for the Lord, serving others, and serving Him.

 

To these Tribulation saints the time was short. They knew it.

 

We have no idea when Jesus is coming back. So while we patiently wait for Him we need to walk in faith and obedience.
