Guy Duininck: Christian Humans
Christian Humans
All Christians are humans. And all humans have bodies and emotions. Life here on earth is filled with bumps and with difficulties and sometimes with things much worse. The realities of this life can impact believers and "hit" their emotions and their bodies in ways they never imagined as they were gazing upon the glorious realities of who they are and what they possess in Christ.
That is why there are so many exhortations in Scripture addressed to believers about being strong in the Lord, about standing, about continuing in the faith, about not growing weary in well doing, about enduring hardness, holding fast, enduring tribulation, and being longsuffering with others.
These exhortations are written to believers because the Reality is that life on this planet is not easy for humans; even if they are saved!
