In the Christian world, there is a teaching called "theology of prosperity"...
...That is, the teaching that if you believe in Jesus Christ, everything (health, finances) will be blessed...
...These are very comforting words.
...However, the reality is...because they believed in Jesus Christ,
many Christians were massacred...😭
...This is far from a prosperous life❗️
...2 Timothy 3:12 says,
"For everyone who desires to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted."
...This is the correct understanding for a Christian...
...Even as a Christian, there will always be suffering, sorrow, and trials...
...In the midst of such a difficult life, when you walk trusting in God,
the way will open up.
...May your faith become a living faith.

Shalom 😄
