22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, “We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.” 23 So when they had appointed elders in every church, and prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed. (Acts 14:22–23, NKJV)
We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.
To assent to the Faith and then obey it causes much friction in the world. The world is evil and doing evil, to be right with God we must forsake the world and follow Him. It is a hard road. It is a cross. But true salvation is through the cross. The kingdom of God is doing righteousness, peace with God-your sins are forgiven, and joy because God is holding you through it all. You are His!!
commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.
The gave the people over to the Lord because they were approved and acceptable to Jesus because they believe and Trust in Him.
