Of course that is part of it, not denying Christ in the face of opposition.I've been reading about how we share in God's blessings but we also share in His sufferings too. What does it mean to you to suffer biblically?
To me it means staying put being a Christian no matter what relatives think about it.

We suffer rejection and ridicule for the Christ's sake because
we believe in someone that they cannot see, touch or prove
through physical proofs and yet we have faith and to them that is foolishness.
Those that do not believe do believe in something even if that something
is that what we believe is foolishness.
We all believe in something but when Christians believe in all that has been
revealed in Christ as God's own truth, it puts them at odds with all others
because that belief challenges the beliefs of others.
As long as your beliefs are not in conflict with others and you show compromise
in those belief, you will be received and embraced by the world.
Those that suffer greatly in this world for Christ's sake will be rewarded
greatly in the kingdom to come.
Yes my sisters are like that, don't want to challenge anybody or talk about their faith, don't want to be in conflict with others. Oh yeah and people do get embraced by the world.

before Him and see the joy on His face and in that moment you know
that every time you defended Christ and told others about His amazing grace,
you were simply sharing your your best friend, brother lover of your soul,
God and Father with others in the hopes that they will find what you have found,
the truth of God's absolute and everlasting love.
Matthew 5
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds
of evil against you because of me.
12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven,
for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Salt and Light
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness,
how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything,
except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.
Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
16 In the same way, let your light shine before others,
that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Matthew 10:24
“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
25 It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master.
If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub,
how much more will they call those of his household!
Sad, MM. To have such a great salvation and yet have no sense of satisfaction and joy in having found a spring of living water. How do you pull it off?life sucks, as a Christian it'll suck even harder. Best thing to do is just deal with it, because you have a treasure in Heaven waiting for you if you're a believer. Otherwise things'll just keep swirling the drain without ever actually going down. Makes everything all the worse meanwhile. . .
