SUMMARY

~ Falling is Not Failing: A Message of Hope

~ The Power of Perseverance in Faith

In this conversation, the speakers discuss the themes of falling and failing, emphasizing that falling does not equate to failure. They explore the importance of perseverance, grace, and redemption in the Christian faith, highlighting biblical examples of individuals who fell but were restored through repentance. The conversation encourages listeners to support one another and to understand that God's grace is always available, reinforcing the idea that every fall can lead to growth and new beginnings.

🗡🛡 GOD'S WORD - ‭‭Micah‬ ‭7‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“Do not gloat over me, my enemies! For though I fall, I will rise again. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light. I will be patient as the Lord punishes me, for I have sinned against him. But after that, he will take up my case and give me justice for all I have suffered from my enemies. The Lord will bring me into the light, and I will see his righteousness.”

⚔️ When we fall into sin we are not beyond redemption! God is not surprised by our falls. Falling is embarrassing, but it's more disappointing when we stay down. Falling can lead to spiritual growth. When we fall we are not beyond redemption. God provides us with an advocate in Jesus Christ. Our failures don't have to define us. A heart of repentance is key to our restoration in God, because it's all about Him. Be willing to rise by God's power. Failure happens when we give up on God's purpose for our lives. Our perseverance is more important than our perfection in God, because perfection will gradually come as we continue to follow God through Jesus Christ. So, let's persevere, remembering that falling is not failure, but that not persevering in Jesus Christ, is.
