There's a mutual misunderstanding with Christians. I'm sometimes guilty of it myself. It's believing that eternity starts now, believing nosotros shouldn't bring problems (financial, health, relationship, etc.) because we're believers. It's truthful that Jesus defeated Satan, sin, death, sickness, evil, pain, suffering as well as sorrow inwards the spiritual realm when He died as well as rose again. But the sum revelation of that victory won't come upwards until sky (Hebrews 2). Christ assures us that fifty-fifty though He's overcome the world, we'll bring troubles during our earthly lives (John 16:33).
We're inwards the procedure of receiving eternity, then nosotros all the same sense testing, trials, struggles as well as attacks (Ephesians 6:12; Hebrews 12). Our public as well as our bodies are inwards bondage to decay, only "our acquaint sufferings are non worth comparison with the glory that volition endure revealed inwards us" (Romans 8:18-25).
