How can Christians respond to suffering and injustice?
Answered in 1 source
Christians are called to endure suffering with patience, following the example of Christ who suffered unjustly for our sins.
In responding to suffering and injustice, the New Testament teaches that Christians are to endure these hardships with patience and grace. 1 Peter 2:19-21 emphasizes that it is a gracious thing in God’s sight when we endure sorrows while suffering unjustly. This mirrors the example of Christ, who committed no sin yet suffered for our sake. Believers are called not only to accept their trials but to see them as part of God's sovereign plan for their sanctification. By entrusting themselves to God’s justice, Christians can maintain a posture of faith and hope, recognizing that God is at work even in the midst of suffering, shaping their character into one that reflects Christ’s holiness and love.
