Hallmarks of …

Living in a World of Hurt

The transformed disciple accepts the inevitability of suffering for the sake of Christ! Insight into the transformed life..

“If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. (John 15:18) Do not marvel, brethren, if the world hates you. (1 John 3:13) strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying, “Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.” (Acts 14:22)

“In the early church affliction was expected as a matter of course; the scars it left were considered medals of honor, bestowed by the Lord’s own hands. Now, most Christians expect to get through unscathed, without even a bruise, and they cry out if they are buffeted a little, as though a great wrong were being done them instead of experiencing something that is altogether normal. So many even try to avoid the world’s hate and to win its favor by shaping doctrine, practice, conduct so as to avoid offending the world. So many Christians resemble the children of this world to such an extent that they cannot be distinguished from them” (Lenski, Commentary on Romans, 1936).

The transformed disciple uses the resources of faith that God has made available to him. Insight into the transformed life..

Glorious Hope The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him in order that we may also be glorified with Him. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. (Romans 8:16-18) For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:17-18)

Steadfast Prayer As regards prayer--continuing steadfast Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praises. (James 5:13)

The transformed disciple overcomes tribulation with joy and perseverance. Insight into the transformed life..

Joy rather than despair! As regards hope—rejoicing And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; (Romans 5:3-4) So they went on their way from the presence of the Council, rejoicing that they had been considered worthy to suffer shame for His name. (Acts 5:41)

Perseverance rather than worldly resistance! As regards tribulation--bearing under! If anyone is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the saints. (Revelation 13:10)
