Chapter One: Arm Yourself

Christians worldwide often fail to fully grasp the necessity of arming themselves spiritually. A Christian unprepared for suffering is akin to a soldier heading into battle without weapons. As 1 Peter 4:1 teaches, just as Christ suffered in the flesh, we too should arm ourselves with a similar mindset, for those who have suffered in the flesh are liberated from sin.

Spiritual growth in a believer mirrors physical and mental maturation. We start our spiritual journey as infants (1 Peter 2:2), ideally progressing from infancy through childhood to adulthood or maturity (Ephesians 4:14; Hebrews 5:14). While physical growth is time-bound – you won’t find a two-year-old who is six feet tall – and intellectual growth depends on learning, spiritual growth is neither a function of time nor learning. Sadly, there are long-time believers who remain spiritually immature, despite their scriptural knowledge and memorization. Knowledge alone doesn’t equate to skill in application.

If spiritual growth were merely about learning scripture, then the Pharisees of Jesus’ time, who could recite the first five books of the Bible, would have been the most mature. Yet, they failed to recognize the Son of God in their midst. Spiritual growth, therefore, is not about suffering per se, though suffering as Christ did signifies maturity. It’s not the mere experience of suffering that cultivates maturity but obedience to God amid that suffering, as demonstrated by Jesus (Hebrews 5:8).

Suffering in Christ’s manner leads a believer to maturity, arising when we resist human will to submit to God's will. This isn’t about self-inflicted suffering or enduring hardships like illness or financial woes for its own sake. Christ’s suffering was about facing every temptation, yet remaining obedient to God (Hebrews 4:15).

When our desires clash with God’s will, we face a critical choice. This was illustrated when Jesus, in the region of Caesarea Philippi, asked his disciples about his identity and Peter acknowledged Him as the Christ. However, Peter’s understanding was challenged when Jesus spoke of His impending suffering and death (Matthew 16:23). Jesus used Peter’s reaction to teach the necessity of self-denial and taking up one’s cross to follow Him (Matthew 16:24-25).

Our journey with God often brings us to crossroads where we must choose between personal comfort and God’s will. As Psalms 11:5 and 17:3 and 1 Thessalonians 2:4 suggest, God tests the hearts of the righteous. Abraham’s test with Isaac (Genesis 22:1-12) and Joseph’s trials (Psalms 105:17-19) exemplify this.

The Israelites also faced numerous tests, contrasting Joseph’s faith. Their responses to the challenges in Egypt and the journey to the Red Sea (Exodus 5:6–21, 6:9, 14:11-12) reflected a focus on immediate comfort over trust in God’s plan. These stories highlight the importance of aligning our will with God’s, especially when facing trials, as true spiritual growth stems from obedience and faith in the face of suffering.

Notice the phrase it would have been better for us. This statement highlights their disobedient hearts, revealing a concern more for self than for God's will. This echoes Jesus' rebuke to Peter, You are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men (Matt. 16:23). Fulfilling God's will requires self-sacrifice and trust in His care.

Without this trust, we are prone to abandon God's will when suffering seems unbearable. Despite their complaints, God delivered Abraham's descendants, parting the Red Sea for their escape and drowning their oppressors. Their subsequent joy and praise were short-lived, as only three days later they faced a new test at Marah, where the water was bitter (Exodus 15:22-24). Their complaints here again show a form of rebellion, a refusal to accept God's provision as sufficient.

God's repeated tests, met with continual rebellion, resulted in the Israelites never moving beyond their trials. Hebrews 3:7-10 reflects on this, pointing out their constant erring hearts. They chose comfort over obedience, convincing themselves that hardship couldn't be
