We know that all mankind has lives of sufferings in one way or another and to one degree or another. So, even as all men suffer, for the Christian, our suffering is redemptive and profitable. Most of us as sincere Christians can say we have gained spiritually in and through enduring the sufferings of life.

Our view moves away from the temporal toward the eternal as we endure life’s training through suffering.

2 Timothy 2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him… (In heaven).
