Have you been suffering for a long time? I am sure that you have experienced great suffering in your life like the Biblical character, Job. I have experienced suffering my whole life, as all people have. Christians, like us, stay strong in our faith and continue to trust God. I am sharing 7 Bible Verses about Great Suffering.

Why We Suffer…

Suffering is an inevitable part of life. We live in a sinful world and are sinners ourselves; we are imperfect — however, with God’s assistance, we can defeat even the evilest of what life tosses at us. These verses in the Bible will encourage you when you need to figure out how to overcome the tests of human life. Memorizing these verses in the Bible is an extraordinary method to remain steadfast and true through the majority of life’s battles.

7 Bible Verses About Great Suffering

  • In his kindness, God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation. (1 Peter 5:10, NLT).
  • We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.  And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. (Romans 5:3-5, NLT).
  • I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth, you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world. (John 16:33, NLT).
  • I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death, (Philippians 3:10, NLT).
  • So then, since Christ suffered physical pain, you must arm yourselves with the same attitude he had, and be ready to suffer, too. For if you have suffered physically for Christ, you have finished with sin. (1 Peter 4:1, NLT).
  • The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed but wants everyone to repent. (2 Peter 3:9, NLT).
  • For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. (2 Corinthians 1:5, NLT).

    Whether we like it or not, suffering is part of the Christian life, just as it is part of everyone’s life. The difference is that we do not walk through our pain alone.

    I always love a list of verses to remind me of Truth in hard times. I especially love Isaiah 43:1-5 when I am struggling.
