POINTS OF WHAT I LEARNT.
I understood that a Christian Life is not always easy. Sometimes we as believers get off the track, but the bible admonishes us to encourage one another in Christ daily so that no one will turn away from God. We should continue to stay in the word of God and also study and learn the word regularly. We should fellowship often with the brethrens and exhort one another. We should stand firm in our faith even in difficult situation. As we mature in faith, trials and temptations are the steps to develop our character and also to justify and brings us to perfection as believers. By responding to trials in the grace of God,we will experience the power of God's spirit, which will be manifested in us through the fruit of the spirit: faith, longsuffering and perseverance. When we faces trials,it is an opportunity for us to grow spiritually. When we are face with trials,we should be confident that God will not allow anything to happen to us without his permission.
Sometimes being thankful in times of difficult situation is the most difficult thing we can do. Yet the bible is very clear about the respond:"in everything we should give thanks but unfortunately most of us respond with murmuring or complaining when we face trials of any kind. However, through trials,"it is God which worketh in us both to will and to do of his pleasures. So we should endure trials so that we will be blemeless before God. In times of trials,we should learn to rejoice because of the good things God will do through our suffering. Test and trials gives us the opportunity to come to know God better and to bring glory to his name. When we experience trials,we should choose by faith to put our trust in God. We should act on the word in times of trials.
If we are able to persevere in times of trials,we will regin with Christ. Patience is essential for us to fulfill the will of God.
I also learnt that judgement has already started in the house of God. And during judgement, some will be acquited while others will be convicted. Those who obey the gospel, judgement will start with them. If we are being judged now as believers,we will not be judged together with the world. For us not to be included with the judgment of the world,we should not separate from the word. Our lives should be according to the gospel of Christ. As believers,we are being punished for us to be corrected,so we should not turn back on God's correction but we should submit to his correction.
FORMAL BELIEF.
No contrary belief.
HOW DOES THE STUDY AFFECT ME.
The study has taught me that for us to regin with Christ,we should not separate from the word.
Thanks be to God.

Thanks be to God for listening on our meeting.
MCGI Cares (Hive) community's main mission is to share the words of God, not the Hive upvotes. If we get upvotes, please treat it as just a bonus. Do not focus mainly on material things as the bible is teaching us not to look at things seen but rather focus our eyes on things not seen.
II CORINTHIANS 4:18
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Thanks for sharing
