What should Christians expect in the world according to the Bible?

The Bible clearly states that in this world, believers will face tribulation as Jesus Himself teaches in John 16:33. However, this expectation is coupled with the reassurance of His victory over the world. Believers are called to endure hardships, which is not a sign of abandonment but rather an integral part of their growth in faith. In those moments of bitterness and challenge, God's provision becomes evident, as depicted through the miraculous healing of bitter waters in Exodus 15. Trials serve a purpose in God's economy, shaping believers to be more like Christ and deepening their reliance on His grace and strength.
