This week we will look at nine possible answers using
Scripture to answer the question: Why
Do Christians Have to Suffer?
Answer 1. To test your heart.
Proverbs 17:3 “The Lord tests the hearts.”
1 Peter 1:6-7 In this you
greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief
in all kinds of trials. 7These have
come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though
refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor
when Jesus Christ is revealed.
These tests are
not for God’s sake, because He already knows if your faith is real or not.
Are you trying
to fool somebody?
Be wise today and
always – be true to God.
