Suffering facilitates the crucifixion of the flesh.
1 Peter 4:
1 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm
yourselves also with the same mind,
for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
2 that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for
the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
Persecution for Christ's sake promotes humility.
2 Corinthians 12:
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations,
a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me,
lest I be exalted above measure.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions,
in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Our Faith, like gold, is tried, tested, and proved genuine.
1 Peter 1:
6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been
grieved by various trials,
7 that the genuineness of your faith, much more precious than gold that perishes,
though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the
revelation of Jesus Christ.
