You've been granted
Phil 1:29 For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake,
What has Jesus granted me? 1st to believe on Him. I am free now to choose. Out of the 10,000 dead religions out there, He opened my eyes to believe and trust Him. THANK YOU LORD! 2nd, to suffer for His name sake. Not forced but granted. He doesnt grant an unbeliever to suffer for Him, it does no good. As a born again, new creation, I want to identify with my Savior. He wants my obedience over my sacrifice. Suffer for His name sake. Sign me up! Theres resurrection power through His sufferings.
