I would like to live in a world that is perfect. I would like not to have pain and my faith group would not suffer. This is not based on reality. This world will hate Jesus and hate on people that love Jesus.
1 Peter 1:6 says, "In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all times of trials." If we look at the Chinese government. There are internment camps that imprisoned Christians. These camps are not much of a vocation. Make to pray for these Christians. The world can be Woke but they will never take a stand for these lovely Christians in China.
The Chinese Christians and Christians that face death on a daily occurrence can have a solid spiritual life. They will depend on God more than the lukewarm church in the United States. When a person lift weights, it makes them have stronger muscles. The muscles will be sore but it will recover. 1 Peter 1:7 says, "These have to come so that your faith-of greater worth than gold, which perishes even through refined fire-may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Christ Jesus is revealed."
I have heard many people say to me that they will only believe if God appears to them. They want God to show his physical body to them that moment. We could not handle the glory of God, if God appears to us. It is clear that they never heard of the Ten Commandments and Moses. Moses couldn't see God face to face.
God wants us to have free-will. God has given us enough to believe and it goes back if a person loves sin. 1 Peter 1:8-9 says, "Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not now, you believe in him and filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the joy of your faith, the salvation of your souls."
