What does the Bible say about suffering for Jesus' sake?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that suffering for Jesus' sake is part of a faithful Christian life, as exemplified by the Apostle Paul.

The Apostle Paul was instructed by the Lord that he would suffer greatly for Christ's name. This notion of suffering is not merely a historical context but is relevant for all believers today. Paul himself encourages Timothy to endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ, implying that suffering is intrinsic to being a follower of Christ. Such suffering is viewed not as punishment but as a path to deeper companionship with the Savior and a way to please Him, demonstrating a life committed to the gospel.
