No regrets!

You know, I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who regrets becoming a Christian. It is very unfortunate that some “televangelists” portray the Christian life as an avenue for prosperity and satisfaction. But the Bible tells a different story.

Paul wrote, “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution” (2 Timothy 3:12). When Paul and Barnabas returned from preaching the gospel in Derbe, Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, they said, “… we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God” (Acts 14:22). The scriptures are clear that living as a Christian can be a very difficult road. That being the case, you would expect to hear a lot of people complaining and leaving the Lord, right? Wrong!

People who labor through the problems know that their labor is not in vain in the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:58). They joyfully accept the “bad times” right along with the “good times.” And they wouldn’t change it for the world! It’s encouraging to know that so many godly, righteous Christians are exactly where they want to be: in the bosom of their beloved Father, serving Him faithfully, and anticipating a glorious home in heaven one day!
