What does the Bible say about dont give up?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches believers not to give up because God is faithful, present, and sovereignly at work even through hardship. Galatians 6:9 urges us to persevere in doing good, trusting that God will bring a harvest in His proper time. Philippians 4:13 reminds Christians that strength for faithful obedience comes through Christ, not self-reliance. God’s promises in Jeremiah 29:11 and Romans 8:28 assure His people that He works according to His good purposes, even when circumstances are painful or unclear. Joshua 1:9 and Isaiah 41:10 call us to courage because the Lord is with us. As Philippians 1:6 declares, God will complete the saving work He has begun in His people.
