Suffering is now a dirty word in the Ekklesia now, because people have rights and equality and they believe that they cannot be pushed around by others, so they just sometimes have to put up with some things!
So perseverance has no meaning for many western Christians, but with all that said and done the other 90% of the world have to live with it everyday and many cannot even declare their faith or be killed for it, in other religions and in atheistic lands that refuse to tolerate anything but their own paganism?
Without suffering we cannot be tested by God to our loyalty to Him and without perseverance we cannot grow, many in the west are dry, cold, or over happy clapping, but they are lukewarm and dead!
Hi. We are both born-again believers for the last thirty years and we have always had the desire to share our faith with everyone, other believers to be encouraged because it is hard to follow God! To those seeking Him, that they will find that He is able to forgive us our pasts and that He loves us to bring us back into fellowship with Him.
There are many who do not want to know or are blinded by legalism, believing this is enough? But the truth of the Bible is that there is only one way and this has to be made through God's One and only Son Isa,/Isus,/Jesus,/Yeshua!
Jesus was the final sacrifice for our failures, he was the final atonement and our repentance and faith in Him, will bring us back into relationship with God, Elohim, Al-Liylah (Allah).
