How does suffering relate to being conformed to the image of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Suffering is instrumental in shaping us to reflect Christ's character.

Suffering is not merely an obstacle but a crucial element of our sanctification as believers. As stated in Hebrews 12:6, the Lord disciplines those He loves, indicating that through our trials, God is actively conforming us to the image of His Son. This transformation involves humbling our pride and teaching us to depend not on our strength but on Christ’s sufficiency, as advocated in Romans 8:28, where all things—including suffering—work together for good to those who love God.
