(KJV) Romans 5:3
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
WE ALSO REJOICE IN OUR SUFFERINGS / ROMANS 5:3
Paul lists “sufferings” as one of the blessings of our salvation and renewed relationship with God through Christ.
- The word “sufferings” refers to all kinds of troubles and difficulties that may affect our lives. This includes such things as the pressures of school or jobs, family situations, financial or physical needs, tragic circumstances, sorrow, sickness, persecution, mistreatment or loneliness.
- In the middle of these troubles, God assures us of His presence, enables us to depend on Him and helps us grow closer to Him. Through tough times we also gain strength and maturity (James 1:3-4; James 1:4) that help us to overcome other difficulties in life. Instead of driving us to despair, suffering produces perseverance (Romans 5:3), perseverance produces character (Romans 5:4), and proven character results in a mature hope – a hope that looks to the future with God and that will not disappoint (Romans 5:5).
- God’s grace lets us look beyond our present problems to find hope in our relationship with God. In the end, that hope is focused on the certainty of Jesus’ return to rescue His people from this evil world and to establish His reign with them in the new heaven and new earth (1 Thessalonians 4:13; Revelation 19 – 22). But in this waiting time, “God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit” (Romans 5:5) to comfort us in our troubles and bring Christ’s presence near (John 14:16-23; John 1416).
