The Believer's Longsuffering

Longsuffering is a grace we are told here. Like the other graces which we are studying in this verse, it is something which comes to us by the working of the Holy Spirit in our mind and heart. And we pray to be filled with this grace, as we pray for the wisdom to exercise it as well. 1st of all, I want to attempt to define for you the words longsuffering and patience. And 2nd – I want to show you that longsuffering is a grace which is built up by God into a character quality in the life of the Christian.
