The Better Suffering
1 Peter 3:17-18 KJV
[17] For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
[18] For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
Are you suffering, in pains or in distress? If yes, then is it a good or bad suffering? Not all suffering are good ones. Suffering for ones wrong doing is a norm but suffering for others wrong doing is unconventional and ill.
Jesus suffered for doing good and this is expected of us. It is a righteous thing to suffer for good. So brethren, it is not enough to say you're suffering but for what reason are you suffering?
Beloved, your faith in God has enlisted your name for suffering based on your good, John 15:18-19; 17:14, 2 Corin 1:2-11; 12:10, 2 Timothy 3:11-12.
May God help us to maintain our faith, love and zeal for Him during our period of suffering for good doing.
Shalom!

So are members of the church whose heart cannot be determined. They are between two opinions. We also have these in the church because they are high minded and proud, they have unknowingly overlooked the necessity of their souls as they gorgeously dressed up in Costly apparel at the expense and decay of their souls, making them to be wretched poor and miserable. Also there is the state of blindness which the devil is using against the church today which has made them very weak and defensele...
