What does the Bible say about afflictions in the lives of Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God's children are often chosen in the furnace of affliction, and tribulations are a part of the Christian life.

Scripture indicates that afflictions and trials are integral to the Christian experience. Jesus Himself stated, 'In the world, you shall have tribulation' (John 16:33), but He also promised peace in Him. The apostles reinforced this truth, declaring that 'we must, through much tribulation, enter the kingdom of God' (Acts 14:22). This illustrates that suffering is not a sign of God's absence but rather a means through which He refines and prepares His people for eternal glory.
