The impact of the challenges of life on Christians of nowadays.
"I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world" (John 16:33.NLT)
Challenges of life are what a christian cannot escape.. It is a must for a christian to face challenges in life. But these challenges differ and the level at which Christians face challenges are different
These challenges would be discussed under the two terms "TEST OF FAITH AND TEMPTATIONS"
Test of faith comes from God to test a christian whether he would be able to manage the glorious position ahead him.
Temptation comes from Satan to make a christian fail in the course of the test of faith thereby missing the glory ahead.
Test and Temptation are the challenges that surface in different forms.
"Test comes from God to make a Christian stronger in faith, while Temptation comes from Satan to make a Christian fail"
It's such a pity that Christians of nowadays do not persevere and endure while facing challenges of life.
These challenges ought to make Christians stronger in faith and to be more faithful to God. But Christians of nowadays seems to forget the place of God while facing challenges of life.
Instead of these challenges to make Christians stronger, it makes Christians of nowadays weak and forget the place of God because of their Inability to persevere and endure unlike the Christians of the ancient times.
It is my hope and prayer that Christians of nowadays would recognize the place of God in their challenges and be able to endure and persevere... Amen.
