Sharing in His Suffering
Romans 8:17 New International Version – Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
In our scripture study, from John 15:18-25, Jesus told the disciples that a servant is never greater than the master but if He was persecuted, they will also be persecuted.
God’s elect, nobody should lie to you that Christianity is on a silver platter or it is all an enjoyable journey, please in the Name of Jesus, it is a lie, we need to suffer for the Lord, as a prove that indeed we love Him.
Thus, it is the work of the Holy Spirit to give us the fortitude or the endurance to be able to stand in the days of our own kind of suffering; it might be as simple as teasing, which can make you drop the bible, if care is not taken.
Confession
In the Name of Jesus, I have the tenacity and endurance spirit to share in the suffering of Christ Jesus, amen!
