Are Christians called to suffer tribulation?
Yes, and the thought that we won’t go through the tribulation isn’t biblical. Through out scripture men and women have endured persecution and tribulation, some even suffering horrible deaths. Suddenly end times Christians believe they are somehow counted worthy of more and won’t suffer as countless Christians have in the past, and still are today in other countries.
John 17:14-16 I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
Acts 14:22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, "We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God."
Romans 8:35-36 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulations, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."
1 Thessalonians 3:3-4 that no one should be shaken by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we are appointed to this. For, in fact, we told you before when we were with you that we would suffer tribulation, just as it happened, and you know.
1 Peter 4:12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;
2 Corinthians 1:7 And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation.
Philippians 1:29-30 For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to sufferfor His sake, having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.
Hebrews 10:33 partly while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while you became companions of those who were so treated;
1 Peter 5:9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings
are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.
2 Thessalonians 1:4-5 so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure, which is manifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer;
Romans 5:3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;
Revelation 1:9 I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Romans 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings
of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
There are many more verses but these should provide sufficient evidence of this truth, remember our reward ultimately comes upon Christ’s return.
