1 Peter 5:6-11 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. 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. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
If you or someone you know thought being a Christian is easy, there's proof right there that is isn't. You have to suffer first, before being restored. Jesus had to suffer first, before being restored. Isn't one of the main points of Christianity to BE LIKE CHRIST?! We're told in the gospel of Matthew that when we get persecuted, insulted and false things are said about us we are BLESSED. Nothing can be polished if there's no dirt; just like nothing can be perfected is there's no imperfection.
