Supernatural Grace in an Upside-Down World

Send a friendly text to the show

Suffering and tribulation can produce supernatural growth and deeper faith when processed through the gospel of grace rather than self-reliance.

• Paul explains how Christians can "glory in tribulation" despite the seeming contradiction
• Suffering initiates a chain reaction: perseverance leads to character and character leads to hope
• Christ suffered so He could sympathize with our weaknesses as our High Priest
• Jesus never promised comfort but rather tribulation in this fallen world
• Our citizenship is in heaven—we're just passing through this world
• Trials help us focus on what truly matters and remove distractions
• Justified believers view suffering as refinement rather than punishment
• God's love is poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit during trials
• All God's wrath for believers was fully satisfied at the cross
• Freedom comes from seeing tribulation as a pathway to a deeper appreciation of God's grace

Remember that Jesus is our faithful high priest who lives forever to intercede for you. The work He started in you, He is faithful to complete, and no one can snatch you out of His hands.
