Why do Christians suffer? Rest assured that there is a reason for Christian people being afflicted. One reason why God’s people suffer, according to the Bible, is that it is a disciplinary, chastening, and molding process.

Many a life has come forth from the furnace of affliction more beautiful and more useful than before.
