Hello brothers and sisters in the Lord,
Throughout the NT the apostles speak of suffering and trials.
For example Paul in Romans 8:18 speaks of the suffering of this present time--
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
Or Peter in 1 Peter 1:6-7:
6 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honour at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Is a believers struggle with sin a form of faith strengthening suffering or trial?
I have two considerations in mind-- everything in a Christian's life works together for the greater good. Romans 8:28
God hates sin.
11 God is a righteous judge,
and a God who feels indignation every day.
12 If a man does not repent, God will whet his sword;
he has bent and readied his bow;
Psalm 7:11-12
