Have you ever felt this tension?

On the one hand, the New Testament says we a more than conquerors. 

On the other hand, it says through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God. 

Victory now. 

Suffering, weakness, and hardship now. 

This tension shapes everything the New Testament says about following Jesus. And if we overemphasize either one we will not only distort everything the New Testament say but we'll have a distorted experience of following Jesus.
