Present suffering/ Future Glory (Romans 8:18-30)

We live in a world full of suffering. Whether it’s as a result of following Jesus or suffering in general. It might be sickness, loss of loved ones, financial pressure or relationship troubles or many other troubles. Life is hard living in this cursed world. In Romans 8:18-30 Paul compares our present suffering and our future glory. Weighing up the two. He is saying he reckons, or more so he is absolutely convinced that our present sufferings are not even comparable to the future glory we have to look forward to on Christ’s return! And as we wait for His return when all things will be restored the Holy spirit helps us in our weakness, he knows our heart and what we need day to day throughout this life. “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18
