Think of This.

PATIENCE must have her perfect work in us, or we shall have no part in the kingdom of God. When that work is wrought in us, we shall have perfect patience. The work of patience is one of pain, but it results in true experience. It is tribulation that works patience; and experience itself can only be obtained from patience. It is evident, therefore, that impatient people are strangers to Christian experience. We certainly can never reach the kingdom of God, till perfect patience is wrought in us. What an admonition does this statement convey to us! How many professors make their whole lives irritable, peevish, and fretful. They dishonor the religion of Christ by their lives, and their end will be ruin and perdition at the last. There will be no fretful persons in the kingdom of God. We must overcome this sinful disposition, or the fire of God's wrath will devour us and our evil nature together.
