Tag: Suffering
Our prayers are not for us to be seen, but for us and our hearts to be seen by God. It is not for us to receive Glory, but for him to receive Glory and Honor and Praise, and to petition him for his will ours needs? It’s not about us, but about him.
In my own strength, I would not have the capacity to love, but Paul says, in Philippians, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. –Lord, through your strength, help me to love others who are unlovable, just as I was to you.–
Our Hope is in you Lord, for the security in knowing, that even though we live in a world that is passing away, you have a place ready for us that will NEVER fade away.
He would suffer many things for our sake. He did for us, what we could never do for our selves.

Notes from the John MacArthur study Bible.
1:7 beloved of God … called as saints. The Gr. text records these as 3 separate privileges: 1) God has set His love on His own ( 5:5 ; 8:35 ; Eph 1:6 ; 2:4 , 5 ; 1Jn 3:1 ); 2) He has extended to them not only the general, external invitation to believe the gospel ( Is 45:22 ; 55:6 ; Eze 33:11 ; Mt 11:28 ; Jn 7:37 ; Rev 22:17 ), but His effectual calling—or His drawing to Himself all those He has chosen for salvation ( 8:30 ; 2Th 2:13 , 14 ; 2Ti 1:9 ; see note on Jn 6:44 ); and 3) God has set believers apart from sin unto Himself, so that they are holy ones ( 1Co 3:16 , 17 ; 1Pe 2:5 , 9 ). Rome. See Introduction: Background and Setting. Grace … peace. Paul’s standard greeting ( 1Co 1:3 ; 2Co 1:2 ; Gal 1:3 ; Eph 1:2 ; Php 1:2 ; Col 1:2 ; 1Th 1:1 ; 2Th 1:2 ; 1Ti 1:2 ; 2Ti 1:2 ; Titus 1:4 ; Phm 3 ).
