Wallpaper: Persistent Patience
Scriptures: 1 Timothy 3:1-7
by Jacob Abshire on March 12, 2023
Godly people build a reputation of being patient with difficult people. This is one of the characteristics listed in 1 Timothy 3:1-7. It is translated as “gentle.” Because of sin, people can be, and are often, challenging to work with. The Christian, who has experienced the gentleness of Christ and been empowered by the Holy Spirit, ought to show patience that is persistent for the glory of God.

“The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God’s church? He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil.”
1 Timothy 3:1-7
