How can God whom is indivisibly present, full of grace and ever-loving kindness allow His own to go through persecutions, trials and tribulations? How can an omnipotent God allow us to go through the dark valleys of life that crush our very souls and yet still state He is doing good to those who love Him? Surely God knows that even His ambassadors and royal priests are no match for the hardships, persecutions, famines and diseases of life much less the Devil whom seeks to devour them? And does not just thinking about our filthy rags of sin threaten to break the minds of these jars of clay whom cannot justify their thoughts, words and deeps based on their own merits? In Romans 8:31-39 Paul answers these questions by stating that God is just and good because He enables His children to be more than conquerors of persecution, life’s tribulations and even physical death. The simple but profound truth is that our sovereign God is good because His grace and love never ends! The following sermon is going to examine the testimonies of the biblical risk takers and martyrs with the intent of spurring today’s Christian to have faith that God has us in His hands and as such we can face any of life’s difficulties with unspeakable joy, knowing that the pain we feel in this life will be pail in comparison to the glorious riches we are about to receive!
