The gifts we receive when we suffer: 1peter 5:10 says that when we suffered a little while, the God who has called us to his eternal glory in Christ will strengthen, restore, and establish us. In 1 Peter 1:6-8 says that for if we are heaviness in temptations for a while and stand still and God will test the genuineness of our faith because faith is more precious than gold that will perish. At the end of revelation, when Jesus comes, he gives us glory, honour, praise.

In revelation, 2:10 says the devil always makes us suffer. When we are faithful to God, he will give us a crown of life. In 2 timothy 4:8 says when we suffer for righteous, we will also get crown of righteous, and we will be blessed.
The book of 1 Peter 4:13 when we rejoice and share Christ’s sufferings so that his glory shall be revealed, and we will be glad about the exceeding joy. In Matthew 10:22, when we are hated by all for the sake of Jesus and suffer till to the end, then we are saved by him.
God many times tested the Israel people with some sufferings, but they did not obey his commands and turn their hearts to evil. So they did not go to the promised land. But many prophets in the Bible like Abraham, Issac, Jacob, Joseph, Samuel, David, Job, Elijah, Paul steadfast in faith and blessed abundantly on the earth and also they will have a high position in heaven. Paul suffered a lot in preaching the word of God to all nations, but he steadfast in his work, and he finished his work on earth with exceeding great.
Sometimes God tests us by some sufferings, to know how we love God, whether we are obeying his commandments. But, we need to stand still when we are steadfast in patience, faith, well-doing, righteous, then God will give us honour, glory, the crown of life, eternal life.
