The Suffering for Christ

I have heard alot of preachers that says just come to Christ and all your troubles will end.

But what is wrong with that?

The Word says in John 10:10 ... I have come so that you may have life and have it more abundantely.

and yes, that is the Lord's will for us.

But..... John 16:33 Jesus said in this life you sal have persecution...

Especially if you are a born again believer.

Because we have an enemy that wants to destroy us.

In Ephesians 6:12 Paul said that our fight is not against flesh and blood but against principalities. That is why it is important to study the word of God daily.

The closer you get to Christ the more the enemy is going to attack you.
