What gospel according to Book of Romans had said:
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still
sinners, Christ died for us.
8:17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs
with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also
share in his glory.
18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the
glory that will be revealed in us.
19 The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be
revealed.
20-26
For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice,
but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of
childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption
of our bodies. In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know
what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with
groans that words cannot express.
We are commanded to suffer with Christ.PHI 1:29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to
believe on him, but also to suffer for him,
2:27 Indeed he was ill, and almost died. But God had mercy on him, and not
on him only but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow.
28 Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him
again you may be glad and I may have less anxiety.
29 Welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor men like him,
30 because he almost died for the work of Christ, risking his life to make
up for the help you could not give me.
3:10 I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the
fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
COL 1:24 Now I rejoice in what was suffered for you, and I fill up in my
flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ's afflictions, for the sake
of his body, which is the church.
1TH 5:9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive
salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live
together with him.
ALL MUST SUFFER TO BE COUNTED WORTHY OF THE KINGDOM2THE 1:4 Therefore, among God's churches we boast about your perseverance
and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring.
5 All this is evidence that God's judgment is right, and as a result you
will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering.
2TI 2:12 if we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he
will also disown us;
HEB 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now
crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the
grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
10 In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and
through whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation
perfect through suffering.
14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their
humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of
death--that is, the devil--
18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help
those who are being tempted.
5:8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered
9 and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for
all who obey him
9:15 For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those
who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance--now that he
has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the
first covenant.
16 In the case of a will, it is necessary to prove the death of the one
who made it,
28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and
he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to
those who are waiting for him.
10:10 And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of
the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
18 And where these have been forgiven, there is no longer any sacrifice
for sin.
19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy
Place by the blood of Jesus,
20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his
body,
JAM 5:10 Brothers, as an example of patience in the face of suffering,
take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
JESUS LEAVING AN EXAMPLE FOR US TO FOLLOW1PE 2:21 To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving
you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die
to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.
3:18 For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the
unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made
alive by the Spirit,
4:1 Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with
the same attitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with
sin.
OUR REWARD AFTER SUFFERING13 But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that
you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.
14 If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for
the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
5:10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in
Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you
and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
1JO 3:16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life
for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers
