Suffering is Temporary for the Believer

The only heaven the godless will know is the enjoyment they have on earth in this life (Matt 6:2, 5, 16), and God is willing for them to have it. The only suffering the godly will experience is in this life, for in heaven there will be no pain or tears. Furthermore, the suffering that God's people experience now is working for the them and will one day lead to glory (1 Peter 1:6-8; 5:10; 2 Cor. 4:16-18; Rom. 8:18). ~Warren Wiersbe, Be Patient (Job), p. 75
