Why would it seem that most Christians don't want to suffer? I see a lot of people that have a backwards view on how God deals with His children. Most Christians want the glory, good health, great wealth, happiness, pretty simple they just desire a painless life.
They want the crown without the cross....
They want the gain without the pain....
That's how a lot Christians think, that's not God's interest though.
God is the author of our salvation!
Hebrews 2:10 says: In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.
God's love is not a pampering love, it's a perfecting love!
Following Jesus Christ is going to cost you everything, even your life!
