(2Ti 2:10) “Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.” Why endure? He has told us that working for God is not in vain, the Word is not bound. I add these motivations: 1. His devotion to He Who forgave his past and saved his soul; 2. Paul was given a purpose in life to be fulfilled; and 3. The Holy Spirit gave him the ability to “love thy neighbor as thyself”. We each have those same motivations in common with Paul!
