The aim of all Christian suffering is the glory of God.

Under suffering, the Christians are called to be urgent in serving one another and are to pursue excellence in serving to the glory of God through Christ Jesus.

Those who persevere in faith through suffering and persecution are to live an obedient, victorious life as a witness to God's grace through Jesus Christ.
