We continue on the reasons why God would have us experience suffering:

It is easy to accept faith when it is about the things we like and the impossible being done for us. Hebrews 11:1-16 is about this. Then also some suffered and lost by the same faith and because of the faith, and especially from v35

Reasons Why God Wants Us To Suffer:
1. It pleases Him. Isaiah 53:10 it pleased the LORD to bride Him: He hath put Him to brief
2. Because it makes you perfect Hebrews 2:10
3. Because it makes you obedient. Hebrews 5:8
4. It brings us closer to Christ Phil 3:10
5. Because of the glory that will follow you Romans 8:18, 2 Corinthians 4:17, 1 Peter 1:11, 1 Peter 4:13
6. So that you play your part in completing the sufferings of Christ Colossians 1:24

1 Corinthians 15:1-58
Revelation 14:13

Christ undoubtedly resurrected! Many saw Him. Things completely changed!

We too shall be resurrected in Him.

Seeing that it is our future, how must we prepare for that stage life? We must be rich in works, for they are the only things that crosses into that life.
