How do we know that suffering for Christ is a blessing?

Answered in 1 source

Suffering for Christ is a blessing as it signifies a believer's worthiness in Christ and provides grace to endure (Matthew 5:10).

Suffering for Christ is not only expected but viewed as a blessing, as seen in Matthew 5:10-12. Being persecuted for righteousness' sake indicates that one is worthy of being counted with Christ. The experience of suffering is coupled with the grace given by Christ to bear it, allowing believers to rejoice in their weakness and reliance on His strength (2 Corinthians 12:9). Furthermore, persecution helps maintain a believer's humility, aligning them with Christ's own suffering, demonstrating their true identity as recipients of grace.
