Brother or sister, if you are hurting today or struggling to understand why God is allowing something in your life, I encourage you to remind yourself of these gospel truths that are ours in Christ because of what he did for us on the cross:. Just as my daughter and I must each walk through the process of grieving the pain that sin has caused in this broken world, those who are in Christ are given the freedom to wrestle with, and process through, the emotions and grief suffering often brings.

We can pound our fists in anguish and weep over what we've lost or hoped life would be, as we lay our hurting hearts bare at the feet of Jesus, trusting He can handle our emotions. However, we can't wallow there. We need to allow the truth of the gospel to speak into our grief and questions. We can say to our pain, "Because of Christ's sacrifice, this pain is no longer pointless and it is a reminder of the hopeless eternity that I have been saved from. I can dry my tears, rise up and walk forward in the strength of Christ, confident that He is in control and faithfully working in ways I may not see in the moment.

As John Piper so powerfully said, "Occasionally, weep deeply over the life you hoped would be. Grieve the losses. Then wash your face. Trust God.

And embrace the life you have. If we haven't surrendered our lives to Christ, then pain can be purposed to awaken us to our need for Him. Once we have placed our faith in Christ, God purposes our pain to draw us nearer to Christ, loosen our grip on the world, make us more eternity-minded, mold us more into His image and bring glory to Him through it. Though we may not see any earthly good coming from our circumstances, we can be confident that God is in control and working according to his purposes for us.

As we see in Job, the Lord allowed him to wrestle with his anguish, even despairing of life and questioning why God had brought such destruction upon his life. This was not to destroy Job, but to lead him to a place of greater humility, repentance and surrender, and to use his life as a testimony to the power and sovereignty of God. Above all, God revealed himself to Job as the all-powerful, all-knowing God, which, in the end, silenced his "whys.

If we get stuck in the cycle of asking why and refuse to surrender and humble ourselves under a God who we won't always understand, then we will find ourselves trapped in the miserable pit of despair, discontentment, and hopelessness. However, if we ask Christ to help us bring our grief, mourning, and wrestling to the cross—being reminded of our ultimate hope in the gospel—we will be humbled, softened and able to rest in faith that God is who he says he is and he will be faithful to his promises.

By his grace, we will be able to say with Job, "I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You. Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes" Job Apart from Christ, our earthly pain would be nothing more than a despairing glimpse of our eternity. But because of Christ's sacrifice, taking the pain and punishment we deserve upon Himself, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit and can trust God's promise that our earthly pain will come to an end and even be used for our eternal gain. For this reason we do not lose heart: Even though our outward man is perishing, yet our inward man is being renewed day by day.

Our light affliction, which lasts but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal 2 Cor. As my daughter and I wrestled with the painful realities that this illness has caused in our family, our eyes were lifted and our burden was lightened as we marveled at the promise of what was to come.

It didn't take the pain away, but in that moment, it lifted our spirits out of the place of hopelessness and self-pity. Though our outer selves may be experiencing the pain of wasting away, we as children of God have the guarantee that our "light affliction" is working "for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory see 2 Cor. This requires us to look beyond what we can see and understand in the moment, fixing our eyes on what is unseen. And as we gaze upon Christ, we will become more and more like Him, loving him more, and yearning for that day when we will be at home with him in glory for all eternity.

No matter what you or I are facing today, the gospel can breathe hope into our grieving hearts, give strength to our weary bodies and fill our weak and broken lives with the power of Christ. Today, let's bring our pain to the foot of the cross and rejoice in Christ's resurrection! Praise God that, having defeated the power of sin and death, Christ now lives to intercede for us. If Christ gave his own life for us, we can trust that He will surely be faithful to equip and carry us through whatever He has allowed for His good purposes.

One day, we will be free from the pain of this world and enter into an unimaginable and glorious eternity with our Savior. Adapted from Revive Our Hearts. Sarah Walton is a stay-at-home mother of 4 children under the age of 9. Then as we walk with Him, that faith grows and develops until it becomes a shield, protecting us and allowing us to live a victorious life in Christ.

That can be your experience as well, as you use the shield of faith to turn aside everything Satan hurls at you. The helmet protects the head—perhaps the most vital part of the body since it is the seat of thought and the mind. When we are certain that we are in Christ with our sins forgiven, we will have a peace that nothing can disturb.

WHAT WE BELIEVE AND TEACH

The sword of the spirit is the only weapon of offense listed in the armor of God. All the other parts are defensive in nature. Jesus used this weapon when Satan tempted Him in the wilderness. That is why it is so powerful. That is why it is so important that we study the Bible and become familiar with its truths and its power.

Even when you are clothed with the armor of God, you need to bathe it all in prayer.

Prayer brings you into communion and fellowship with God so that His armor can protect you. All the pieces of the armor are found in a relationship with Jesus. Do you sometimes feel weak? Do you find yourself giving in to temptation when you really want to overcome? Are you ever discouraged? We all face these moments.

But clothed in the whole armor God, the weakest of His children is more than a match for Satan. Languages Study in More Languages. Armor of God: What is it?
