about coming back from failure

Part of the life of a righteous person must be devoted to persistence. The righteous person refuses to quit because he/she wants to glorify God in every way, in all things. For a righteous person, quitting is never an option. The unrighteous person may fall, but without a willingness to glorify God, the unrighteous person has only himself or herself and a dark and perhaps evil purpose to live for.

The persistence of the person with darkness in their heart causes the darkness to prevail and persistence evaporates quickly. This evaporation of persistence takes place because there is only a selfish desire to please oneself. With Christ in your heart, you live for Him and keep coming back against every adversity and every foe. Living with Christ in your heart gives you a reason to live and goals to achieve no matter what obstacles stand in your way. You keep coming back again and again to glorify God.
