Scripture Post #1,268: *SAME AFFLICTIONS*
1st Peter 5:9:
"Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world."

Once we make the transition from dark to light, from broken to whole, from sinner to Saint, we will *still* experience affliction. In fact, we'll experience the *SAME AFFLICTIONS* the world suffers. The difference is how we react to these sufferings. The Saint is enabled through the power of Almighty GOD to have joy in sorrow, peace in the face of trouble, confidence when things appear scary. So, no, we're not exempt from suffering. But we're not exempt from GOD, either.
