* Perfectly sculpted muscles come through painstakingly difficult workouts.

* Perfection is always a result of pain.

* God ordained strength to come through strain.

* This is why it’s called the “narrow” way.

* We need to “work out” what God “works in.”

* “Perfect” means “Complete.”

* None of us are perfect, but we can be complete in Christ if we suffer for Him.

* Just like a painter - the pic isn’t done until the last stroke.

* Saying “no” to that temptation is suffering personally and makes us complete.

* Vs 18 - the beauty of suffering is that you can empathize with others who suffer and help them.

* Jesus went through pain so He could help us with ours.
