"We might be surprised that suffering and joy can go together, but we should not be. This is often God's way. Believers suffer, because there is a great battle going on. The devil, the world and the flesh are fierce and relentless enemies. But believers must rejoice, because Christ has already won the war. The outcome is certain, and the church's enemies are already doomed. We are not yet in glory, but glory is already in us. We do not have the fullness of the Spirit; but we have the firstfruits, which means that the fulness is guaranteed."
