Historically, the early Christians faced persecution and trials, yet they were encouraged to remain joyful because their hope was not in earthly circumstances but in the eternal promises of God. This joy is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22) and reflects a deep-seated trust in God's faithfulness. patient in affliction persistent in prayer Patient in tribulation.--This virtue was, of course, specially needed in the troublous times through which the Church was passing.
