How do our present sufferings compare to the glory that will be revealed in us?
The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. They cannot even be placed in the same category. The promise is that if we suffer now, we will one day enjoy all the glory of it.
Les explains that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. This is part and parcel of our salvation experience: we are now children of God. If we are children of God, we are heirs of God; if heirs, we are joint heirs with Christ. The promise is that if we do suffer, we will certainly one day enjoy all the glory of it. In Ephesians chapter 1, in Christ we have obtained an inheritance. It all just fits together.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
