SUFFERING IS A MUST FOR EVERY TRUE BELIEVER!

Even though Jesus was God’s Son, He learned obedience from the things He suffered. In this way, God qualified Him as a perfect High Priest, and He became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey Him!
Hebrews 5:8-9 NLT

So then, since Christ suffered physical pain, you must arm yourselves with the same attitude He had, and be ready to suffer, too!

So stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are!
1. Peter 5:8-9 NLT
