It can be tough to be a Christian. However, God gives us encouragement through His word to help us hold fast in difficult circumstances. In 1 Thessalonians 5:12-24, Paul shows us how Christians are built up in Christ and how we reap the benefits of the joy and the peace of the Holy Spirit to help us endure the trials and tribulations we face. "Admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone" (1Th. 5.14).
