3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
Being a christian is somewhat of a two sided reality, we both have the highest privilege but is also called out the duties of slaves. However we rejoice in this, not because we have pleasure towards the feeling of pain but rather we acknowledge our human understanding is flawed and limited. Meanwhile God's knowledge is omnipotent and sovereign so while we may never understand why certain endeavours can occur in our lives, we can know that these trials have purpose in them and can be used to promote growth.
