Suffering with Hope - An Eternal Perspective

by Amy Moreno

Romans 5:2-4; Romans 8:18

Teaching date: 07/16/2015

Summary

A framework for suffering includes preparation, purpose, and patience. The Bible is flooded with scripture about suffering as a reality and how God can use it in our lives. It is important to focus on going through the process with God rather than on ending the suffering. God wants us to know Him and this can happen best when we go through hard times and cling to Him. Suffering gives us an opportunity to go deeper with God, develop our character and experience peace in a deeper way. Suffering with hope requires an eternal perspective.
