How do we know suffering for Christ is true?

Answered in 1 source

The truth of suffering for Christ is evidenced in Scriptures where Paul affirms it as a gift given to believers.

The doctrine of suffering for Christ is firmly rooted in Scripture. Philippians 1:29 reveals that it is not only granted to believers to believe in Christ but also to suffer for His sake. This understanding establishes that suffering is not an arbitrary occurrence; it is part of God's sovereign plan for those who follow Him. The apostles themselves experienced suffering and persecution as a result of their faith, which further confirms this teaching across the New Testament.
