Look back at Matthew 24 again with me, only this time look at verse 13. I want to show you something amazing. Jesus says that something will characterize those who are really His children. No matter what happens before or during the tribulation—His true children endure.
Matthew 24:13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
That word endure [hupomeno] is a very interesting word. Only 18 times in the New Testament, it describes the response of a genuine believer.
Isaiah 40:29-31
29 He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall,
31 But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
Those who trust God enough to take His help as He weaves His Word into our weaknesses–so that His waiting hope will make us strong. That is why He even allows all these problems, struggles, trials, and unexpected reversals into our lives. To twist and stretch us into waiting hope!
