Suffering Into Something Better Than Ever

God’s Righteousness, Our Salvation

Romans 8:18-25 1. Weigh suffering by glory, not by ease or pleasure. Suffering is an essential ingredient in what we find glorious in human souls. Our problem is not that we do not compare or weigh the meaning of suffering; our problem is that we do not weigh it against the right opposite: glory. Further, we must understand the glory against which it is weighed. 2. Weigh the “found glory” of earth by the “revealed glory” of heaven. about-to-be-revealed-glory= 3. Suffering ends when glory is complete. All created things... share in suffering, and expect an end, that is greater than the beginning. 4. What you wait for will cause you to remember gladly what you went through. “The freedom of the glory of a child” 5. True hope is patient. We have the redemption of our souls and wait for that of our bodies.
