Since the world hated our Lord and put Him to death, it will also hate us, as we are conformed to Him. but His face is against those who do evil. But even though this is true, we still face very hard things in this life. This is a study of how we can reconcile the constant care of our loving Father, and the harsh, sad and difficult things we find facing us and battering us in this life. And if you suffer for the Lord, you are blessed. In many places in God's word we see God blessing people through allowing them to suffer for Him. It is a privilege to suffer for Him. But also, the Word tells us not to be troubled. Being troubled is human, but God has provided so that we need not be troubled when we use, by faith, His provisions for us. We are to keep a good conscience as we endure the persecution of those who hate our Lord and His gospel message, and as we look to Him for the grace to conduct ourselves honorably. We are also to see suffering for Christ as the true blessing that the Word proclaims it to be. This necessitates the renewing of the mind, so we think in accordance with the truth and not according to the deception of the world, our own flesh, and the devil.
