And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

I met Jesus now I suffer. But I am in perfect peace. There is nothing like it. A little temporal suffering is much better than an eternity of suffering.

no the question is it required

or

are Christian’s CALLED to suffer?
For not only is it given unto us to believe in His name to but to SUFFER for His name sake .
We are Appointed unto tribulation in this world .
Tis even the righteous judgment of GOD that we suffer for the Kingdom .

God works all things together for the good of the lambs who love Him . Yes indeed .
Our faith grows during trials and afflictions . Yes indeed .
Now let all that draws breath just praise the glorious wonderous life saving Lord . Endure faithful unto the end .
For the second death awaits all who denied Christ . OH but for the lambs we just go HOME to the glorious KING who saved us
when we pass on from this life . But i tell us all , the second death is real , its a lake of massive fire .
Jesus wont be denied . AND HE alone is the only one who can save . Now rejoice in the glorious LORD , having
all hope and all affections above on Him . Rise up and let the LORD be praised my peoples .

There are two groups of sheep Faith Jn 10:16 that make up the Christian faith. Do you know why some were selected to go to heaven?
They are the called jews and the called gentiles and they are one Flock in Christ .
And all lambs shall one day be forever with the glorious King who has saved them .
endure faithful to the end , unto death and ye shall recieve a crown of life . March onwards in the glorious Lord having all hope
and all affections above on Him . Prepare to be hated in this world , to suffer trials and great afflictions for HIS name sake .
And fear not man or what he can do . THE LORD is with the lambs .

Reckon yourself to be indeed dead unto sin and alive unto GOD through Christ Jesus .
Mortify the deeds of the flesh by the power of the Holy Ghost .
And let all who name the name of JESUS depart from inquity . Dead to sin , alive to GOD through Christ .

As I said, I don't believe it's a requirement, but we've all made mistakes, and mistakes result in suffering, unless the Lord steps in and prevents that from happening.

Is suffering required for salvation?

Yes.

The suffering God requires so that you can become His Son/Daughter, "in Christ".. He provided for you.

Here is all the suffering that God requires, so that YOU can be born again.
Look closely...and BEHOLD GOD's SALVATION !

Salvation is a Gift. "The GIFT of Salvation".
God is not going to make you suffer to give you a Gift.

The Cross is the bridge that leads to the family of God.
We dont suffer to cross it, as Christ already suffered to build this bridge......>He built it with His blood and His death and a Cross.

You misquoted me. You took portion of a sentence and put a period at the end of it.

You responded to the OP's question, that says...>"is suffering required for Salvation".

You responded. ..."I dont believe its a requirement"......FOR SALVATION>......is the context.

So, i quoted your sentence, that supports that question that you answered.
Then i posted a video that provides you with Jesus on the Cross, who is performing the SUFFERING that God requires so that you are offered "the gift of Salvation".

There is no reason to misquote a person.
