FRUIT OF PATIENCE

This is the fruit that shows the patience of God to men, although they are sinful.  God is patient and he give them the time to turn and repent. He is slow to anger and    compassion for his people.  He  love to draw them to repentance. ".... The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering,  and abundant in goodness and abundance,  keeping merciful for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin; not ascribing evil man who was innocent would never ... ". Exodus 34: 6, 7.

We can  continue to learn about the patience of God, before he brought a flood of water  upon the earth in order  to destroy the mankind because of the evil they were doing.  He gave them a period of time if they will repent. "People should obey the past, God's patience while waiting in the days of Noah, while the ark was made; wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved in the water". 1Peter 3:20. Those who did not repent were destroyed by the flood of  water, as the scripture says, "For a lot of patience, he put up with the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction".  Romans 9 : 22.

From these verses,  we can see if God was  not  patience  to us,  no one would survive but all we  would perish. Therefore we must obey salvation that God brought to us  by sending Jesus Christ to us to  heal lest we will not  be judged, as scripture says, "We will escape, if we neglect such a great salvation? Who first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard it".  Hebrews 2: 3.

Tolerance of Jesus.
Jesus Christ was seen a woman in Thyatira church named Jezebel, who has called himself a prophet. He teaches false doctrines and some of them accepted his teachings and follow it, then He gave them time to repent before he  bring a  judgment on them. "But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman, who calls herself a prophet and teaching and beguiling my servants to commit fornication and eat things sacrificed to idols. I have given her time to repent, and if she do not want repent her fornication. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her, to the great tribulation unless they repent of their deeds; I will kill her children with death. And all the churches shall know that I am he who searches the reins and hearts.I will give unto every one of you according to your works".  Revelation 2: 20 - 23.   In these texts we have been able see that are the typical of the current church, where our Lord Jesus Christ is watching over the church, and deserve  to  justifies those who do not deserve will be judged.

How to be tolerant.
1. Wait and trust God in prayer
In this world wide adversity there are difficult or troubles which are

facing the righteous. But you should wait and trust God in prayer as you know he is your help. "I waited Lord with patience, He bowed and listened to my cry".  Psalm 41 : 1. "They that trust (who relied on) the Lord, are like Mount Zion, Who it's  rock, abides forever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people". Psalm 125 : 1, 2.

2. Trusting  God and wait for the promises of his word.

"I have waited the Lord, and my spirit has waited for you, and in his word I hope. Let Israel hope in the Lord; For with the Lord there is mercy (help) .... ".   Psalm 130 : 5 , 7.

3. Do not be the blamer.
This is another important thing to consider. "Do not grumble, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the destroyer". 1Corinthians 10 :10.“Don't be angry with each other, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: If the Lord forgave you, so also do ye". Colossians 3:13.

Following these you have build up in tolerance, you have not anxiety, fear, bitterness, pain  despair.  Is then his  word shall be fulfilled  as it  written, "Rejoice in the Lord always, again I say, rejoice". Philippians 4: 4.
