Our happy smile in suffering is the achievement that Christianity seeks.

We have achieved freedom from the body and this earthly prison.
We are more than conquerors.

We consider all kinds of tortures light afflictions because they do not touch what is important to us. We have the approval and power of God. His spirit directs and guides us. We are in the saved and holy family of God and commune with angels. This is our joy.

The joy of the Christian is more than the body can destroy. Our bodies are left down here on earth, but our souls are in heaven, communing with God. This is the achievement that God has attained through Jesus Christ our savior.

On Calvary Christ had given up everything for God. He was HIS daily bread, he lived on nothing else on earth and the whole focus of His heart was God's will. He feared God and to lose His life's desire
was supreme torture. Such pure focus and devotion meant greater suffering when God's spirit was removed.

When we hunger and thirst for righteousness above all things then the goal has been achieved because we are ready for heaven.

God's word manifest

The call to obedience is freedom from sin and the reflection of God's word.

When reflecting God's word we are connected to His power. His Spirit's power is our life and love.

Obeying God's word makes us the word of God manifest.

It is enough to reflect God's word to the world.
