—Romans 5:1-5
by: Katie Brown.
It is difficult, during times of suffering, to think of the rewards we experience through our trials. There are some lessons we may never understand while we are alive on this earth, but Paul reminded us in Romans that God brings endurance, character, and hope in this life through suffering. One trial today could give us the tools and strength to face many other trials down the road or simply to comfort and encourage another believer who will face similar suffering. We may not fully understand, but we are left with hope in God’s promises and in the eternal reward of living with Him in heaven.
