Redemptive Suffering and Divinization are two keys of the Gospel that make us fearless and hopeful. When your goal is intimacy with God through Jesus Christ you have nothing to fear! Your suffering and death can be offered up in union with Christ as a means of intimacy with God and for the salvation of the world. When you realize that God's ultimate plan for you is to share in his innermost life of Love, then you have immense hope to endure all things for the prize of Heaven.
