NO PAIN, NO GAIN- IS SUFFERING THE MAGIC BULLET?
The consensus of theology passed down through the ages is that suffering is one of the primary vehicles that take us to godliness and maturity. Because of this misplaced emphasis on suffering, the church and generations past have made institutions out of the art and method of suffering.
The Catholic Church, which dominated the scene for a millennium, perfected the art of suffering that developed the monasteries and the multiple brands of spiritual orders that produced a method of seeking God through sacrifice and suffering.
This is a classic example of a good idea that turned into a good idea and ended up as bondage. Whatever we take something that God originated and start tweaking it so it will improve and get bigger, it always turns into self-works which equals dead works.
In plain language, Jesus suffered for us, so we don't have to suffer. Do you think it would improve your salvation to put you on the cross? Of course not. Do you think your righteousness would be better if you had a car wreck or lost your house through foreclosure? No, a thousand times no.
Everything that could possibly be done to make us who we are as righteous sons and daughters of God has been accomplished through Jesus Christ on the cross and at the resurrection.
You can whip yourself, break your leg and carry a wooden cross everywhere you go, and it won't improve your standing with the father.
However, that's another subject if you want to gain patience and improve your faith. James 1:2 has the boldness to inform us that we are to count it a joy when we encounter trials and all sorts of Temptations. I call this God's spiritual gymnasium, where we pump up our muscles.
This is the exercising of our faith which brings us to maturity of strength and spiritual insight that will position us to be wholly furnished unto all good works.
