We'll see that in heaven: 1) We will be part of a vast community of multicultural, multiracial people who will praise the Lord: a-a vast group without number, b-a variety from every nation with distinctive features, c-standing before the throne of the Lamb, serving and praising, d-with white robes (righteousness) and palm branches (victory), e-redeemed through the blood, and f-singing praise for salvation. We will retain our individual identity, and we will get to know our loved ones on a deeper level. 2) We will be on the other side of suffering. 3) We will experience a new level of life, before the Father and the throne, without limitations.

Previously we learned that the believer deals with present suffering by looking towards his future glory.

Today we'll see how Creation got to its present state of groaning and yearning for the unveiling of the sons of God and its own future transformation.

The hope given to the world is the Messiah is coming and will redeem humankind.

In Romans 8:18, Paul has told us that the Christian will suffer for Christ. Today we'll see that Christianity is unique from other religions in how it tells the believer to deal with suffering by using reasoning. The believer must reason that his future is better than his present, and that his present day suffering cannot be compared to his future glory. From Romans Chapter 8, the believer can recall what God has done for him, who God has told him he is, and what his future is. The believer must let truth and reasoning control his feelings.

In Romans 8:18, Paul is now talking about how the Christian should face suffering. In this sermon we'll see how the Christian should NOT react to suffering: 1-Don't be surprised that suffering happens 2-Don't be shaken by suffering 3-Realize there is no promise in Scripture that you will have relief or improvement in your sufferings on Earth 4-Realize that the Christian is not called to try to improve the world so that his suffering is reduced 5-Don't just resign yourself to your condition - stoic resignation
