Patience = Persistance

Courtney Clayton Jenkins thinks how most ppl consider patience 2 B a passive waiting but most of the Greek words translated as “patience” in the NT are active words that equate perseverance (ex. Heb 12:1). Does one run a race by passively waiting 4 slow-pokes or gently tolerating cheaters? Certainly not! A Christian runs the race patiently by persevering towards a goal, enduring trials, or expectantly waiting for a promise to be fulfilled
