What Do You Expect As a Christian?

As Christians living at this time and age, what is it that we expect? How do we view the things that are happening to us? How do we respond to the constant trials and tests that we are facing? What can we expect from God in regard to our calling and His promises? We need to have clear understanding in these matters and make sure that we are not just hearers but also implementers so that we are not caught off guard.
