It highlights the importance of persevering in joy in God through suffering to reveal His supreme value in our lives. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Our joy in God would make the worth of God be seen as more precious than what we lose when we suffer. Now that was a complicated sentence. Let me say it again. Suffering is appointed by God for His saints for this purpose, so that as we persevere in joy in God through suffering, He is shown to be more valuable than what we are losing as we suffer. That's why you suffer, for God's sake. ======================================================================== Video: https://sermonindex2.b-cdn.net/asGA2F4LW9Y.mp4 Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/john-piper/god-is-more-valuable-than-what-we-lose-in-suffering/ ========================================================================
