MAIN TALK UNDERSTANDING GOD THE SCRIPTURES

Daily Bible Thought > Roman's Chapter Eight Verse 18 Suffering Glory

Rom.8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.

None of us like to suffer, but in Christ Jesus it is the process we must experience in our flesh, which war against the Spirit, we will suffer; without this suffering our faith cannot be perfected in love. Many Christian's have spent hours in thinking and talking about future suffering and persecution, but if we are in Christ Jesus, which is part of the process, our suffering each, and every day, and often, many times during the day, but why?

Persecution comes from outside of us because we carry the righteousness of Christ, this light the demons and the spirit world see; those in opposition to Christ Jesus attack on all levels of ones life, from work, family and friends. These attacks causes us sufferings, but we also suffer by our own sins, or minding of the flesh.

This suffering is found with us daily, the flesh is opposed to God's Spirit, in fact, it is at war with the Spirit. When the flesh wins and it often does , the Spirit is put to death causing us much suffering. Christ Jesus the wisdom of God comes to our aid, resurrecting us with the Spirit of God, where we once again walk in Spirit. This process forms us into the personality of Christ Jesus, and eventually transfers us completely into Christ Kingdom of love.

The world does not know this process, why? Because when people of the world change themselves, it is done through self-will, and not the will of God. Our process as Christian's is miraculous forming us into God's glory, and here is the context of Paul's words that our suffering in this manner is going to reveal the glory of God for His creation.

Heb.2:18 For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

Heb.5:7 He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear, 5:8 though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered. 5:9 Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation.
