Love<\/h2>\n

When it comes to not giving up, the Bible is a great place to start. The Bible tells us that love is one of the main reasons we should never give up. As Romans 8:38 says, “For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” No matter how discouraged we may feel, God’s love for us is always there.
\nWe can find God’s love through the most difficult circumstances and carry on with our lives. God is always by our side and He will never leave us. Isaiah 41:10 tells us, “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” We can trust in God and believe that His love will sustain us when we fall or stumble.
\nWhen we rely on God’s love, we can be sure that no matter what situation we find ourselves in, His love will never fail. In 1 Corinthians 13:8, we get the same message: “Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.” To put it simply, love is the power to keep us going. <\/p>\n

Hope<\/h2>\n

Hope is another important factor to consider when looking for ways to not give up. Throughout the Bible, we are reminded to have hope in spite of hardships and struggles. In Isaiah 40:31, the Bible says, “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” What this verse is saying is that when we put our faith in the Lord, He will provide us with the strength to continue on.
\nNo matter how difficult our circumstances may be, the hope of God will never let us down. The Bible promises us that our story will have an ending that glorifies God’s name, and our hope can never be taken away. In Psalm 25:3, we read, “Indeed, none who wait for You shall be put to shame; they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.” This verse teaches us that when we place our trust in the Lord, He will always take care of us.
\nNo matter how hard the going gets, we can always rely on the hope of God to carry us through. As Romans 15:13 tells us, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”<\/p>\n

Perseverance<\/h2>\n

When it comes to having the strength to keep going, the Bible speaks highly of perseverance. This trait is essential in life and throughout the Bible there are many stories of people who persevered even in the most difficult of times.
\nIn the book of James, we are encouraged to endure through trials and tribulations. James 1:12 states, “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.” This verse shows us that if we continue on through difficult times, we will be rewarded with a better position down the road.
\nThe Bible also reminds us of the importance of not giving up in the face of adversity. In Romans 5:3-5, it tells us “Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” This passage is encouraging us to remain strong even when the going gets tough, for it is through our trials that we have the opportunity to grow.<\/p>\n

Faith<\/h2>\n

We can also not give up by having a strong faith in God. In the Bible, faith is often portrayed as an important factor in reaching greater heights in life. Hebrews 11:1 reminds us, “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Here, we learn that faith helps us to believe in the unseen and to believe in God’s promises even when they do not make sense to us.
\nThe Bible encourages us to have a strong faith in God’s promises and to continue to trust in Him even when things seem to be against us. As Psalm 9:10 says, “And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.” Here, we are being reminded that no matter how difficult life is, God is always here for us and He will never forsake us.
\nWe can only not give up if our faith is strong in God’s promises and His will. When our faith is deficient, we can quickly become discouraged and give up on what God has in store for us. Therefore, it is important to always seek God and His word in our lives in order to have a strong faith in Him.<\/p>\n
