What do many modern-day believers wrongly think will happen when they become believers?

Les explains that too many modern-day believers have gotten the idea that just as soon as they become a believer, everything is going to be a bed of roses. He illustrates that false expectation as having two Cadillacs in your garage, living in the biggest home in town, and living sumptuously. He stresses that this is not what is meant, and never has been. The preceding verses recount beatings, stoning, shipwreck, perils, weariness, pain, hunger, thirst, cold, nakedness, and daily concern for all the churches, showing hardship rather than guaranteed ease.
