Luke 21:19 Summary
[Luke 21:19 teaches us that by being patient and enduring, even in the face of persecution or hardship, we can gain our souls, meaning we can save or preserve them, as Jesus taught in Matthew 16:25. This doesn't mean that life will be easy, but it does mean that God is with us and will sustain us, as promised in Isaiah 43:2-3. By trusting in God's goodness and sovereignty, we can endure even the toughest challenges, just like the apostles in Acts 5:41-42. As we wait on God and trust in His plan, we can experience the peace and joy that comes from knowing Him, as described in Philippians 4:6-7.]
