Time Well Spent with Cornelius F. Warren

Tonight we are in 1 Peter 4: 12-19. 

Peter wants his readers to know that suffering is often according to the will of God (verse 19). The idea that if you’re in the center of God’s will, you’ll be free from trials, is not biblical. Being in the center of God’s will may mean that you are in the center of suffering! Peter gives us four hard lessons about hard times--hard lessons because they’re hard to apply. But they’re necessary and useful lessons because not one of us will escape hard times in this life (Hebrews 12: 8).

As Christians, we should expect trials, exult in trials, examine ourselves in trials, and entrust ourselves to God in trials, knowing that they are according to His will.
