Our Tribulation, His Triumph: Why Suffering Can Be A Good Thing

Greetings everyone, and may mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. We will be in Romans 5 today. For those of you who are Christians, what did you expect when you became a believer? All of the saints such as Peter, Stephen, Paul, and the early Church Martyrs suffered and died because of their faithfulness. They could have backed off when the persecution came and played it safe, but that would have meant millions of people wouldn’t have heard the Gospel. Jesus Himself suffered greatly for us so that we would receive salvation, so isn't it only fair that we should suffer a little for Him?“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20You can reach us at facebook.com/hbchillsboro.
