Ephesians 4:1, 2
Greek Word for Patience = Makrothumia “Long Tempered”
Biblical Patience Has Three Main Ideas:
1. It Never Gives Into Negative Circumstances
Ephesians 4:3; James 1:19; Psalm 31:22; Hebrews 6:12; Romans 4:20, 5:3
2. It Never Retaliates Against Difficult People
1 Thessalonians 5:14; Romans 2:4, 12:1; Philippians 2:7
3. It Never Stops Believing That God Will Work out His Will
2 Timothy 3:10; Hebrews 12:1
