❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to endure faithfully as a Christian?

To endure faithfully means remaining steadfast in your commitment to Christ and His Word, even when faced with hardship, cultural opposition, or persecution. It’s about trusting God’s promises and obeying Him regardless of the cost (Hebrews 12:1–3).

How can the church help believers stay faithful?

The local church supports faithful endurance through biblical preaching, meaningful fellowship, accountability, prayer, and pastoral care. It equips believers to grow in Christ and stand firm in truth together (Acts 2:42; Ephesians 4:11–16).

Why is compromising on truth so dangerous?

Compromising on biblical truth undermines the gospel and weakens the church’s witness. When truth is abandoned, so is clarity about sin, salvation, and holiness. Faithful doctrine fuels faithful living (2 Timothy 4:1–5).
