Synopsis: That suffering and trials will come to those who follow Christ is a sure thing. Steadfastness (endurance, patience) is necessary to help us find joy through the troubles. It will help us to overcome those things that make us want to quit and help us to continue on when we are in the midst of difficulties.
10. As for that in the good soil, they are
those who, hearing the word, hold it
fast in an honest and good heart,
and bear fruit with patience.
Luke 8:15
