Bible Question: Prays the Lord... Why do you suppose the church, devout men and women of God suffer so much for God's glory to show over his/her life? The pain sometime seems insurmountable. |
Bible Answer: Greetings Daytona, Do you think, with regards to suffering, that those who are living godly lives should escape the following facts? 2 Tim. 3:12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. Once a person is found out to be an enemy of a country how are they expected to be treated? As believers in the Lord Jesus Christ we are strangers living in a strange and “hostel” land but; 2 Cor. 5:20 (A) Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, 1 Peter 2:11 Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, This isn’t our true homeland when we trust in Jesus but we are still living in the devils world and the world hates us! I find it interesting to note the following in the first verse that I pointed out. 2 Tim. 3:12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. ((all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus)) Not in a denomination, or a religion but “in Christ Jesus”! Have a great day, CDBJ |
