As Paul and Barnabas visited the churches, they exhorted the believers to persevere in the faith by telling them that it was necessary for them to undergo many hardships to enter the Kingdom of God.
The same exhortation to persevere in the faith is given to us, for we too must endure many trials and temptations if we want to enter heaven. Because God loves us, he wants us to be in heaven with him. Everything he allows in our lives is meant to purify our souls so that we will possess the love that will merit heaven. He always has this glorious end in view.
With the strength provided by the Spirit of the risen Christ, let us follow the exhortation of Ss. Paul and Barnabas to persevere in the faith.
