Bible Question: Could this that was spoken by Jesus be the reason so many Christians don't enjoy the benefits of their salvation? |
Bible Answer: Hi, dear trials do not mean you dont enjoy your christian life, actually the main thing is that christian should be the happiest,it all goes with understanding what trials are for, if you get the revelation that trials are just your bread to make you fat you will rejoice, i liken them to enemies, remember without the enemies there is no table Psalm 23,i know trials are not nice but the word admonishes us to count it all joy, you see christianity is another life, you rejoice when its rough.Have you realised that after trials you are more bolder and your faith is strong, sure.But as concerning the above scripture they mean that even the gentils can rush into the kingdom and take what God says is theirs by force without compromising what their situations say.Wow isnt this wonderful. |
