Paul said the product of faith is endurance & perseverance. Therefore, if there is no endurance & no perseverance there is no real faith. For example, if you still cannot spend 4 hours praying but, instead must watch TV, you do not have the type of faith Paul is referring to. In other words, the "faith" Paul is referring to is supposed to improve your moral conduct or make practicing the moral conduct of the Law more easier. With "faith", you automatically keep the commandments because your mind dwells in love therefore cannot commit evil towards others.
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We have also obtained access through him by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also boast in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance, endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope. This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we also have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we celebrate in hope of the glory of God. And not only this, but we also celebrate in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
