What does the Bible say about afflictions for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that afflictions are appointed for Christians to strengthen their faith and draw them closer to Christ.

Afflictions are a part of the Christian experience, as outlined in 1 Thessalonians 3:3, where Paul reminds believers that they are appointed to suffer. These appointed afflictions serve a divine purpose, designed by God for the growth and perseverance of His saints. Suffering leads believers to rely on Christ more heavily and recognize the truth that their salvation rests in Him alone. The call to endure affliction is also a call to steadfastness in faith, as it refines and purifies the believer’s trust in the Lord.
