Suffering Develops…Endurance, Character & Hope!!

Read Romans 5 today, it will fill you up! Faith in our Jesus Christ brings joy! We all must believe this even if you are having a “bad” week, a “bad” month or “bad” year….We as Christian’s can enjoy the PEACE that comes from being made right with God even when we face our daily “bad” problems. These problems that cause suffering will allow us to grow in our faith, to become more like Christ.

So to anyone discouraged out there by your “bad” problem, remember to rejoice! We are children of God!! God loves us no matter what!

“Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.” Romans 5:2

Rejoicing is not always the first reaction I have when something bad happens. But Paul teaches that problems and trials that cause suffering will develop endurance, and endurance will develop strength of character, and character strengthens our confident HOPE of salvation. Paul writes of this in verses 3 & 4 in Romans and he says we can rejoice in suffering. If it is written in the Bible, it is the truth for our faith, it is God’s word. We will suffer as Christians but we must remember to rejoice and we will become stronger in our faith!

You all…we have the power available to us from Christ, who lives in us through the Holy Spirit to face any problem or trial. We have the presence of Christ in us and through sanctification we keep growing through our “bad” days of suffering to be more and more like Him. #BelikeChrist

“And this HOPE will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because He has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with His love.” Romans 5:5

Thank you Jesus!

To someone who needs this blog today as much as I do… we encourage you to stay in the Word and keep HOPE alive!! God loves you and we are filled with God’s love because of Jesus!!

Faith brings joy, rejoice in good & bad times!!
