The man at the pool of Bethesda waited 38 yrs to be healed, how patient are you to allow Christ to do the work in your life?

Commit to memory today I Corinthians 10:13
no temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; but God is faithful who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also that you may be able to endure it.

Christ finished it all on the cross. Praise the Lord for that. I don't come on to nofap to get into theological discussions but to provide encouragement to Christian Brothers and Sisters who struggle daily. Peace

I would rather put my emphasis on the patience of God. In Christ He remains patient with us as he allows us to continue to return to out sin and to fight against it. His promises stand and call out for us to walk in freedom now.

Yet I am slow, and forgetful or even ignorant of the length and breath of his promises. But praise to Him for His faithfulness that he works His salvation out in my life and bringing me to deliverance.

Imagine if we had to wait 38 years for God to answer a prayer some of us would die beforehand.

Moral is healing is a process. Yes it may manifest in the spiritual immediately, but it may take a while to manifest in the physical. That's how we grow in faith, but trusting God's process

Even when the process gets a bit frustrating, and you get impatient with God. Never lose faith, you were built to last

Thanks Bullard that is what I was trying to communicate perserverance which is one of the virtues of a Christian Life.

@Gav5 read the next verse 1 peter4:16 However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.

He'd know that's a lie, God doesn't allow sin. We have free will, we allow sin. God however is a God of justice and the great avenger, so though he may mourn for a bit..

None of us are perfect, all of us have emotions which is why we should all rely on God and the holy spirit he gives us when things get tough. Cause they will get tough

I encourage you to read Psalm 78 in its entirety. You have to delve into the OT to see the full character of God. There are many things he has allowed which may surprise.
