Comfort And Encouragement Against Suffering

How many of us find ourselves suffering on a daily basis because we are Christians? Suffering not at the hands of others, but by trials brought on by things happening in life.

How many times do you feel insulted because you reverence the name of Christ and find yourself ridiculed and put down verbally?

How many times have others tried to make you feel ashamed of being Christian? If some of the above or all of the above are your experiences, you need to embrace the Word of God given through the Apostle Peter in regards to "Suffering For Being Christian."
1st Peter 4:12-19

12) Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

13) But rejoice, inasmuch as you are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when His glory shall be revealed, you may be glad also with exceeding joy.

14) If you be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are you; for the Spirit of Glory and of God rests upon you; on their part He is evil spoken of, but on your part He is glorified.

15) But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evil doer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.

16) Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

17) For the time is come that judgement must begin at the House of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

18) And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

19) Wherefore, let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to Him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
