Philippians 1:29 (NKJV) 29 For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake…
No one wants to hear about suffering for Christ, but it is definitely a part of our walk with Him.
We will suffer at times, and not all suffering is the same. It’s different from time to time.
Some will be abused because of their stance for Christ. Some will be looked at differently. Some will be mocked and laughed at. Some will be persecuted to great lengths, even physically. And some people will die for their faith in Christ.
None of this is pleasant to talk about. But we must know the truth. And sometimes the truth is not easy to swallow.
Believing in Christ will come at a cost. We are not talking here about our salvation, because Jesus already paid for that. He bore the cross for our sins.
However, our walk with Him here on this earth will sometimes be difficult because of our belief in Him.
No matter what the cost may be, or the suffering we endure, it will be well worth whatever we go through for Him.
He will be there with us, giving us the strength to bear it. And when we are at a loss for words, He will give us wisdom in what to say in that moment.
Jehovah God, Jesus Christ His Son, and the Holy Spirit are on our side!! They are working with us, alongside us. Who can be against us? Amen
Romans 8:31 (NKJV) 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
