6. Relentless DETERMINATION

In this lesson we study another of the apostle Peter's prescribed character traits - the quality of persevering - remaining faithful to what Christ gives us to do without giving up.

Life is full of setbacks, disappointments​, and hard work. Many people no longer know how to keep going without faltering, and lots of people take the path of least resistance. But when the power of God gives us everything we need for a godly life, we have the capacity to develop perseverance. It's one of Peter's eight core character qualities, listed in 2nd Peter 1​:3-8. Perseverance requires trusting God​, but it yields maturity. There are important steps we can take as we develop perseverance, but the entire process depends on keeping our eyes on Jesus.
