The patience of a saint

Predicting the general atmosphere of the last days, and some of their characteristic elements, our Lord offers both comforts and commands to his people, telling them, "In your patience, possess your souls."

We answer five simple questions:

Who? The Lord is speaking to his disciples.

When? About their attitude and conduct in the last days.

What? They need to possess their souls: to get and keep their souls so as to gain eternal life.

Why? Because the particular pressures and provocations of these seasons might shake God's people.

How? They must do this in patience: with steadfast endurance, rooted by faith in Christ.
