The Gift of Suffering

• Philippians 1:29 (MSG)

---

There’s far more to this life than trusting in Christ. There’s also suffering for him. And the suffering is as much a gift as the trusting. (Philippians 1:29 MSG)

In trusting in Christ we receive His righteous - right standing before God.
In suffering for Christ we receive His character … we become more like Him.

Without suffering… growth is not maximized.

We also receive a crown of life for suffering as our master did.

It is a privilege to suffer for Jesus and His name!
