What Do Believers Receive After Suffering?
Suffering is an inevitable part of life, and it can be difficult to understand why it happens. As Christians, we can take comfort in the fact that God is with us in our suffering and that He has promised us a reward for our faithfulness. In this blog post, we will explore what believers receive after suffering and how we can use our suffering to draw closer to God.
The Bible tells us that God is faithful and just, and He will reward those who are faithful to Him. In Romans 8:18, Paul writes, “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” This verse reminds us that our suffering is only temporary and that God has something better in store for us.
The Bible also tells us that God will use our suffering to refine us and make us more like Him. In 1 Peter 1:6-7, Peter writes, “In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” This verse reminds us that our suffering can be used to strengthen our faith and draw us closer to God.
Finally, the Bible tells us that God will use our suffering to bring glory to Himself. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, Paul writes, “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” This verse reminds us that God can use our suffering to show His power and bring glory to His name.
These verses remind us that God is faithful and just, and He will reward us for our faithfulness. He will use our suffering to refine us and make us more like Him, and He will use it to bring glory to Himself. As we endure suffering, we can take comfort in the fact that God is with us and that He has something better in store for us.
