Remember The Cross (1Peter) No.2- Tested Faith
from GraceLife Sarasota · host Joe Davis
What do you think about the Bible instructing us to rejoice when we go through grief and suffering? What does it mean to rejoice? How do you rejoice when earthly circumstances are ripping your life apart? Why Can’t God just save His children & then make life easy? Does our faith really need to be tested for it to be reliable? Perhaps this one of those things in scripture we all nod w/a serious face & say “Amen”, hoping it doesn’t happen to us. How should Christians respond to suffering? Does rejoice mean we smile, remain stoic, strong, brave, act unphased? Is it possible our view of suffering is too narcissistic? What if the testing our faith isn’t for our benefit at all? What if our suffering is necessary… for others see our faith being successfully tested, so they are inspired to believe?
