As believers of the Lord Jesus Christ, we face many challenges in our lives. Often we wonder because, throughout human history, this world seems to be very cruel against the people of God. As much as we want to live comfortably in the world, there is always trouble that besets us. These oppositions, persecutions, and hardships we face, however, are constant reminders that this world is not our home. God has a better place for His people. The hostility we experience here should bring us closer to the Lord Jesus Christ.
