This week we will look at nine possible answers using
Scripture to answer the question: Why
Do Christians Have to Suffer?
Answer 3. To wean you from worldly
things.
Hebrews 11:24-26 By faith Moses,
when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. He
chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the
pleasures of sin for a short time. He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ
as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt,
because he was looking ahead to his reward.
The more we
accumulate material possessions and worldly knowledge, experience, and
notoriety, the more we are tempted to rely on them instead of the Lord.
Be wise today and always rely
on things of God not this world.
