Paul was trying his effort to make them understand their commitment with God

Bill's comment on 2014-12-16 06:22:17:

The apostle Paul emphasized the same truth. If we suffer, we shall also reign with him if we deny him, he also will deny us 2 Tim. 2 12 . The passage teaches that those who endure persecution will inherit the kingdom, and will rule with Jesus. Those who melt under pressure will not inherit the kingdom. Christ will deny them the privilege. Paul implies the same in Rom. 8 17 where he identifies all saints as heirs of God but only suffering saints as co heirs with Christ. Cr.

It is a war between the flesh and the spirit.
A war between light and darkness. People loved darkness be cause their works are evil.
