Many people seem to think that coming to Christ or faithfully attending church means life will somehow become problem free—as long as you are dedicated, gracious, giving, and committed. But Scripture never promises a trouble-free life. In fact, some of the most faithful believers in the Bible endured deep trials, hardships, persecution, sickness, and sorrow.

You could be the most religious person on the face of the earth, and that alone would never shield you from suffering. Trials are part of living in a fallen world. So how can we confidently recognize the goodness of the Lord even in difficult days?

One key Biblical truth must shape our thinking: we are receiving far more than we deserve.

The Bible says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Because of Adam’s sin, all mankind inherited a sinful nature. We have all sinned against a holy God. Scripture also says, “For the wages of sin is death.” That is heartbreaking news because our sin deserves judgment and separation from God.

But the good news is this: “the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Jesus Christ came to save sinners. Through His death, burial, and resurrection, He made a way for us to be forgiven and reconciled to God. The Bible says, “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Salvation is a gift of grace that must be personally received by faith.

When we receive Christ, it does not mean life suddenly becomes easy or painless. It means something far greater: we are no longer enemies of God. We are forgiven. We are adopted into His family. We have the eternal God with us and for us.

Because of Jesus Christ, we now have an Advocate and a Great High Priest who makes intercession for us. Hebrews reminds us that Christ hears our prayers and understands our weaknesses. James teaches us that “the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”

What incredible grace! Not a life free from problems—but a life no longer separated from God. Even in suffering, we can rest in His goodness, His presence, and His promises.

Expository preaching guides me to preach one verse at a time and one section at a time. Sunday was no different. In First Epistle of John chapter 3, the text reminds us that anyone who practices sin is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning.

Our culture seems to justify nearly everything it does—even to the point of excusing murder, or the attempt of it, if the person is someone they dislike. But if you are a Christian, you do not have the right to murder.

What is murder? It begins with hatred in the heart that can lead someone to take an innocent life. And what do we mean by “innocent life”? Our culture tries to create moral loopholes, claiming that someone’s ideas or positions are so harmful that it justifies violence against them. But that is not a biblical standard—nor is it ours to decide. Matters of justice belong in the proper authorities, not in personal vengeance.

Do I believe President Trump says everything perfectly? No. But I will say this—there have been more falsehoods spoken about him and those who voted for him than I have seen in a long time.

John is speaking to believers—those he calls Children of God. Those who are truly God’s children make it their habit to love. God commands us to love Him and to love others—even those we strongly disagree with. This is not optional; it is foundational. It is the bedrock upon which the Child of God reflects the character of Christ.

1 John 3:16 — “Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.”
