Scripture teaches that because we live in a fallen world, we can expect to experience suffering, pain and trials in this life. Ultimately, this is so we can become more like Christ, by living in total dependency and in perfect obedience to God.
Our
suffering, also helps us to better identify with the sufferings of
Christ and grow in our anticipation and joy of Him receiving us one
day in the near future. As we endure our suffering, we can better
identify with Christ and the life of Christ is revealed in and
through us.
"For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake,
having
the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.”
