John Gill emphasizes the importance of Christian fortitude, which is characterized by a firm and courageous spirit that aligns with God's will. He distinguishes true Christian fortitude from natural bravery and civil courage, asserting that it is rooted in faith and obedience to God, especially in the face of trials and adversities. Gill illustrates that this fortitude is necessary for performing religious duties, enduring afflictions, and engaging in spiritual warfare, ultimately leading to a fearless approach to death. He encourages believers to draw strength from God, the Scriptures, and the examples of faithful saints, highlighting that true courage comes from a deep understanding of God's love and promises. The sermon calls Christians to embody this fortitude in their daily lives, reflecting the strength that comes from their relationship with Christ.
