1 de Pedro 4:1-2

Have you ever wondered why God allows us to suffer? Interestingly, the Bible does tell us about suffering. In this plan we will go through different verses of the Scriptures that can help us gain a positive perspective and understanding of suffering in this life on earth.

No matter what trials come our way, we can rise up and stand firm in our faith. In fact, part four of this 4-part Bible Plan from Pastor Amy Groeschel is designed to help you grow in your knowledge of God, expand your love for Him, and give you the courage to live out the truth of Scripture in every season—especially the heavy ones.

In this 5-day plan, civil rights legend Dr. John M. Perkins talks about suffering. How should believers respond to all the pain in this world? This study walks through redemption and God's love in the midst of suffering. There is encouragement in this devotional that will aid believers to go through their pain and suffering by fixing their eyes to Jesus Christ.

1 Peter was written to the “elect exiles of the Dispersion” (1 Peter 1:1), a group of believers forced to flee their homes and lives due to persecution. Although they lost much, Peter reminds his readers that they have “an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading” (1 Peter 1:4). Truly, Jesus is our Living Hope, transcending all our difficulties to provide hope and courage amid opposition.
