What does the Bible say about never give up?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible calls believers to persevere in faith, not by relying on their own strength, but by trusting God’s unfailing presence, power, and purposes. Galatians 6:9 urges us not to grow weary in doing good, for God promises a harvest in due season. Isaiah 41:10 and Joshua 1:9 assure God’s people that He is with them and will strengthen them. Philippians 4:13 teaches that Christ supplies strength for the duties and trials He gives, while Luke 1:37 and Matthew 19:26 remind us that nothing is impossible with God. Even in hardship, Romans 8:28 anchors hope in God’s sovereign goodness, and 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 calls us to rejoice, pray, and give thanks.
