School of Hard Knocks
Posted September 1st, 2009 by radiant
The Christian's life is really a School of Hard KNocks and cannot be compared with the World's school of hard knocks. If you are a Christian never expect things always to go the way you planned. The Christian life is one of continual hardship, conflict and toil but I love the way Paul puts it in Philippians 1:21: For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain. Let's press on, if he did and was victorious in the end I think that the hardship was small but necessary in accomplishing something much greater - a true, perfect Christian who would rather die than to hurt the cause of Christ in bringing others to Him.

Alot of individuals believe that once you have accepted Christ that everything in life would go perfect. More money, less stress, a great family life etc. With accepting Christ, you have new battles to fight and new wars to win. The inner battle to defeat the flesh and the old man/woman before accepting Christ$. In addition, the new wars and hardship that Satan will bring your way for living in Christ.
We are all Joint-Heirs with Christ
