Persevere in the Faith

The nation of Israel arrived at the Jordan river but did not believe all that God had promised, so they fell back and did not enter into that promised land. Their fear and self-preservation kept them from God's blessings.

We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true–even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.

1 John 5
