DID GOD CARE? HAS HE FORGETTEN US?

CHRISTIAN SUFFERING I have been wondering why do Christian suffer especially to our Country whereby there is no food, medicine, hunger, hiking prices of important commodities, poverty, people dying because of HIV/ AIDS in Africa and other parts of the world, breaking marriages, divorce, children not obeying their parents, people loving money more than God while others being selfish. Why do they experience trials and temptations. Trials come to create patience and maturity in our lives. The word trial here means those troubles that come upon Christians from outside, God allows them, trials to come in order to test or prove our faith. But there is also a promise of reward if we remain strong. In contrast, temptation comes from within us. They arise from man`s own sinful nature not from God. Suffering is normal part of the Christian life. Christ suffered and so with all Christians. But there is also great hope. If we suffer with Christ, we will also rule with Him. The Book of James, Hebrew, and I Peter gives us many explanation and instruction about suffering. The early Church knew much about suffering. Those saints did not always understand why they suffered. Did God care? Had He forgotten them? Hebrew, James and I Peter offer hope and encourage to all suffering Christians. Hebrew emphasized that Christ is greater than all who came before Him. Christians may suffer greatly, yet faith in Christ is the best path. James taught us to rejoice in trials, because they come for a purpose. He also told us real faith produces work, others know our faith only by what they see us do. Peter encouraged suffering believers, we have a living hope with us. God will one day raise us from the dead. Then He will give us a permanent inheritance that will never fade. Therefore let those who suffer be patient. God bless you my Friend. Pastor Mike.
