Living The Christian Life!
There is so much going on in the world today, too much evil and wickedness that as Christians it is hard to wait on GOD to bring judgment. Yet it is important that we understand that GOD is working out His Will in His Timing.
The hardest thing for us is the trials and tribulations that we face daily, life is a struggle. Even Scriptures like Isaiah 54:17 and 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 don't seem to help. All over the world people are suffering for their sins, but we are the children of GOD, why are we suffering?
Why was James, the brother of John killed by Herod but Peter was set free by The HOLY SPIRIT? Why do the wicked prosper while Christians suffer? Why was Paul beheaded and John given the Revelation of JESUS CHRIST?
As we read and study the book of Acts we see the many trials and persecutions that Paul experienced, but according to his testimony in 2 Corinthians 11:22-33 that was only about one third of them.
JESUS did not call us to the good life as some preach! JESUS called us to give up our life and take up His Life. To bear our cross and obey Him, to die to ourself so we can live for Him; Matthew 10:34-39
Read and study these Scriptures, look to GOD for His Grace and Peace no matter how hard your life is, no matter the struggle your ministry has; 2 Corinthians 1:3-11, 4:7-18, 10:3-6; 2 Timothy 1:8-12, 4:6-8.
Persecutions, trials and tribulations are the norm for those who love GOD and serve Him. Not only that but GOD tests us to show us what we actually believe and how much we will obey His Commands! Don't be discouraged but trust in GOD; Hebrews 12:1-17.
