When it is easy—or even beneficial!—to call yourself by the name of Christ then many people will pour into local churches and jump into membership classes, but when it costs them something—comfort, pleasure, reputation, career success—then play-believers stop coming, and the true Church become ever more visible.

So rejoice when you’re counted worthy to share in the sufferings of Christ since it reveals something of the authenticity of your faith.
