Never Give Up: Is a Christian Message!

The author mixes together encouragement and rebuke in the letter. Believers need warnings and admonitions to remain faithful, but at the same time they also need encouragement. The readers are reminded that their obedience is not trivial or forgettable. God notices what they do in their everyday lives. He knows whether they truly love his name, and that love is expressed in service for the saints. All believers should continue such love and service to the end. The Christian life is a journey that requires patience and continued faith. "Never Give Up: Is a Christian Message!" is a message that tells us that not giving up is most of all a Christian virtue.
