    1. REJOICE KNOWLEDGEABLY IN YOUR SUFFERING FOR CHRIST. (VS. 12-14)

    LIE WE’VE BOUGHT INTO NUMBER 1: SUFFERING IS A SURPRISE AND MEANS YOU’RE ABANDONED BY GOD.

    A. SUFFERING IS EXPECTED. (VS. 12)

    B. REJOICE: SUFFERING IDENTIFIES YOU WITH CHRIST ETERNALLY. (VS. 13)

    C. REJOICE: SUFFERING IS BLESSING. (VS. 14)

    2. MAKE SURE YOUR SUFFERING IS FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS, NOT SIN. (VS. 15)

    LIE WE’VE BOUGHT INTO NUMBER 2: SUFFERING FOR OUR SIN IS THE SAME AS SUFFERING FOR CHRIST.

    3. GLORIFY GOD IN YOUR REFINING TRIALS. (VS. 16-18)

    LIE WE’VE BOUGHT INTO NUMBER 3: SUFFERING HAS NO VALUE.

    4. ENTRUST YOUR LIFE TO OUR FAITHFUL GOD WHILE DOING GOOD. (VS. 19)

    LIE WE’VE BOUGHT INTO NUMBER 4: GOD IS UNAWARE OF OUR SUFFERING AND ISN’T FAITHFUL BECAUSE OF IT.
