It must be so fascinating to believe that Salvation of your soul for your eternity and Submission to a cause and Suffering are the price for a life of faith in God and can also be the keys for fighting for what you believe to be valuable for your life or rather, your livelihood. Suffering as a price for fighting or staying in there (in the cause) will never make sense until you submit of yourself to the Fathers (God's) Will as regards to where you ought to be or where you ought to go and what you ought to be doing. Non the-less, submission also will never make sense until you understand what salvation Jesus Christ wrought for you upon the Cross of Calvary. Your salvation is collateral to the purpose of your life. 1 Peter.
At times your life's purpose may be miscellaneously tied up to some suffering permissible or rather allowed because of the unforeseen rewards beyond your knowledge of salvation. Your salvation and rewards are assured by your submission to the cause while in the cause. Because of the surpassing benefit of saving the world out of the hands of Satan, Jesus Christ had to submit to suffering thereby paying the required price for the redemption of mankind. The scripture highlights this fact in Luke 22:41-43(KJV) ;
And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
In the same vein, permissibility of suffering because of rewards beyond our knowledge of the present benefits of our Salvation are plainly expressed in Romans 8:18-23 (KJV):
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
So be encouraged child of God.
