Drew loved God with all his heart! And he would want you to have the same love for God that he had. Below is a project Drew did on endurance. Here are his own words to tell you about his faith and what it meant to him.

There are many ways we can learn endurance from, but the best way we can learn endurance is from God’s example and from God’s Word. In scripture it tells us that God gives us endurance, and that we might have hope through this endurance. As Christians, we have been given the task of sharing the gospel of God’s grace. This task has been compared to a race. We know that in a race, only one person wins; we need to run this race as if we were going to win. If not, we should consider our life nothing. In order to do this, we must not only stay in the race, but keep our faith and fight until the very end. We need to press on to our goal and win prize which is being in heaven with God for eternity. Patient endurance is produced by the comfort and salvation from God. We need to rely on our endurance that God has given us to do anything, especially when it comes to being saved and winning the race and receiving the prize.

Our endurance is one of the most important things that God has given us. In order for our endurance to be productive, we must endure until the day of our death, and put our faith in God that He will help you overcome anything. The most important thing we need to endure in is our relationship with Christ. In this race, we need to live our lives for Christ in everything we do.
