Godly Believers Will Not Have Bad Things Happen To Them?

Joh 10:10  The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

 

Many Churches today preach that an abundant life is one filled with wealth and no hardship.
 

[Elhanan]

I don't think that message would go over well with the martyrs.

my favorite book of James 2:2-4 consider it a great joy my brothers when ever u experience various trials knowing that testing ur faith produces endurance, so that u may b mature and complete, lacking nothing...

10You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, 11my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra—which persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me. 12Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
