Why is suffering for doing good important for Christians?

Answered in 2 sources

Suffering for doing good is a testimony of faith that mirrors Christ's own suffering (1 Peter 2:20-21).

Peter encourages believers that if they suffer for doing good, it is commendable before God. In 1 Peter 2:20-21, he notes that this suffering is a part of the calling for believers, as even Christ suffered for our sake, leaving us an example to follow. This highlights the reality that following Christ often leads to hardship in a world opposed to God’s values. By enduring such suffering patiently, Christians demonstrate their faith and reliance on Christ, signifying a contrast between God's kingdom and worldly expectations, thereby bringing glory to God through their witness.
