"Joy in Suffering" 1 Peter 1:6-9 6 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls. (NIV)
We can rejoice in the midst of suffering because of the great mercy of our God. 1 Peter 1:6
We can rejoice in the midst of suffering because it refines our faith for the glory of Christ. 1 Peter 1:7
We can rejoice in the midst of suffering because it nurtures our faith and love for Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 1:8
We can rejoice in the midst of suffering because it points our hope toward our final salvation. 1 Peter 1:9
We can rejoice in suffering because God intends it for our good and his glory.
