To persevere, the man of God has to:

1. Flee worldliness

2. Pursue righteousness

3. Will fight for the faith

4. Take hold of eternal life

Motivators:

1. God’s presence

2. Christ’s coming

3. God’s sovereignty

Some questions to consider:

• Is proper theology and sound doctrine important and practical
  to you?
• What need do you have, what problem do you face, that cannot
  be met by getting a bigger vision of the Almighty God?
• Is your goal to live a life of integrity, but you’re feeling pressure
  to compromise your testimony?
