The Christian's Trials
The Christian must always remember the words of Paul in 2 Timothy 3:12, which says:
Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
To be a Christian is no small business, it’s a call to trials and persecution. Paul admonished the young Timothy to endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 2:3).
This veteran Apostle was not speaking based on hearsay but his own experience of suffering. We have spoken of the several trials in the life of Paul, from the infirmity in his body to the many persecutions he endured.
The question is this, why does a Christian have to go through all these? The world, the flesh and the devil seems to always be against him. What all these forces are targeting in the believers’ life is the faith of Christ in us.
Since Christ is the hope of our glory, if Christ is removed there will be no more hope of glory. Our further reading further buttresses this point by saying that if any man suffers as a Christian such should not be ashamed, but should glorify God.
