One of the benefits of our salvation is the union we have with Christ. When we trust Jesus alone to save us, His life, death and resurrection become our life, death and resurrection.
David foreshadowed this union in Psalm 69: 22-36 he showed that oneness with Christ means more than the "easy life". If we truly unite with Christ in salvation, we also join with Him in persecution and suffering He endured. 1 Peter 2:20-24
You may be thinking, how in the world can union with Christ be beneficial if it means I must endure persecution and suffering? That is a great question and one that David answered: " And you seek God, your hearts shall live" v32. Those who truly seek God will live forever because " in Christ"they are already victorious over the persecution and suffering that will come their way. Though evil doers may crowd around you, in Christ you have already overcome! For this reason, " Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and everything that moves in them" v 34
Those who do evil against you may never be brought to justice on this earth, but justice will come when the King returns. Regardless of the timing of His coming, in Christ you persevere now. Praise God for your union with Jesus, and rest in the victory He won at the cross on your behalf.
For it is WITH God all things are possible
