known for his unique ability to simplify profound truth so that it can be applied to Everyday Life Adrien Rogers was one of the most effective preachers respected Bible teachers and Christian leaders of our time thanks for joining us for this message here’s Adrian Rogers 1 Peter chapter 4 and we’re going to begin looking in verse 12 1 Peter chapter 4 and verse 12 now we’ve been thinking all of these days as we’ve been going through first Peter about time truths for tough times so let’s begin reading now in verse
12 beloved think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you as though some strange thing happened unto you but rejoice in as much as you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings that when his glory shall be revealed you may be glad also with exceeding Joy if you be reproached for the name of Christ happy are ye for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you on their part he’s evil spoken of but on your part he is glorified but let none of you suffer as a murderer or as a thief or as an evildoer or as a busy body in other
men’s matters yet if any man suffer as a Christian let him not be ashamed but let him glorify God on this behalf for the time is come that judgment must began at the house of God and if it first began at us what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God and if the righteous scarcely be saved where shall the ungodly and The Sinner appear wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing as unto a faithful Creator what a beautiful marvelous passage now today we’re
speaking on this subject primarily When Faith is in the fire notice verse 12 think it not strange concerning the fiery trial that shall come upon you sooner or later you’re going to find your faith in the fire and we’re going to be telling you today what to do about it because dear friend if you’re not familiar with the word of God and suffering comes to you as a child of God you’re going to begin to question God first of all you’re going to say well God doesn’t know that I’m suffering and then you say oh no he knows all things
