Episode Details

Entering the Christian life is a free gift of grace. We are reconciled to God by trusting in Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross alone. However, becoming a Christian doesn't mean that we get to move in on easy street. We still face difficulties in life, and we must press on and endure. We are instructed to toil and strive in the disciplines of our faith so that we might endure hard times and be an encouragement and example to those who may despise us.
