Have you ever wondered why God allows trials and suffering in the lives of believers? Perhaps you have been tempted to believe that what matters most to God is your own success and comfort?

We will also see that we have a glorious salvation that comes with many blessings and an inheritance that will one day be realized, and when it is, we will rejoice with great joy and praise at the glory that God reveals.
