There is no doubt that as followers of Christ, we need to suffer at some point. Should I be looking to suffer?
Hi Max,
I believe everyone in this life suffers , both believers and non believers. We are being given an experience of both good and evil. This experience is to humble us.
When I experience good, there is no suffering in that for me however when I experience evil I suffer.
We are being made in the image of God which requires both good and evil experiences. I believe everyone’s life is predestine both believers and non believers and what ever God has predestine in each persons life will come to pass.
I never pray to God saying, please make me suffer today, just getting out of bed in the morning is suffering enough, wondering what the day may have in store for me.
Growing older, struggling with the affairs of this life, arguing with someone you love or feeling hunger pains or getting sick ,are forms of suffering.
Anyone that has ever lived on planet earth has, is or will experience suffering.
love and peace to all.
