“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:8 (NKJV)
Due to the difficulties many people experience in life, they begin to live as though hardship is a permanent part of their existence. They come to believe that life is full of struggles and not everyone is destined to succeed. These individuals often think that luck determines success, with some born with a silver spoon while others are not.
They reach a point where they choose to accept the status quo and live in abject poverty, unaware that Christ died for them to have a quality life in abundant measure.
My friend, as a child of God, you must understand that a life of suffering is not your inheritance. Just because people suffer today does not mean this is what God destined for them. They live that way because they do not know the word of God and what He has made available to them.
You need to know that it is because of the sufferings and struggles in the world that Jesus Christ came to die. He suffered and went through immense hardship for you and me so that we do not have to endure the same (Isaiah 53:1-11).
In John 10:10 (NKJV), Jesus Christ said, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it abundantly.”
In John 3:16, the Bible says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish (suffer, come to destruction) but have everlasting life.”
From this, you realize that God has already sent a replacement for every suffering and struggle in life. Therefore, embrace this truth and use it to fight and win. No matter the difficulty, our Lord Jesus Christ has already been sent as your substitute, ensuring your victory. Approach every situation with this understanding, and you will surely emerge victoriously. Hallelujah!
