We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God

Acts 14:19-28
"We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God." Paul and Barnabas said to them strengthening the disciples and encouraging to remain true to the faith.
On arriving Antioch, they reported all that God had done through them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
Further trouble from the Jews of Antioch takes them on to Derbe, the furthest point of this first mission, where the response is good.
Returning by the same route they encourage the new believers, appointing leaders for each church.
Why?
Under the hardship environment, Paul could continue preaching gospel for he has passion and faith to the Lord. Paul has commitment to the mission from the Lord.
How about my passion to the gospel, why it seems cold down?
Each of us need go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God.
Even under troubles, there were many gentile turned to the Lord. So the Lord opened the door of faith to the Gentile through Paul's team.
How?
Oh, Lord! Please return my passion of the gospel, and catch each opportunity to preach gospel and honor your name.
