We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.
Acts 14:22
Recommended Reading: John 15:18-25
On his first missionary journey, the apostle Paul visited towns like Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe. In those towns, he and Barnabas were attacked for preaching the Gospel and barely escaped with their lives (Acts 14).They later returned through those towns in order to strengthen the new converts in Christ, telling them, “We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God” (Acts 14:22).
These words are an example of Paul incorporating the teachings of Jesus into his own missionary preaching. For
Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount said, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness ‘sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
The connection between persecution for Christ’s sake and the Kingdom involves persevering through persecution-not falling away from the faith. Only those who are willing to take up their cross for Jesus will inherit
the Kingdom of God (Luke 14:25-27). Suffering persecution is not a blessing, but inheriting the Kingdom of God is.
If you experience persecution for your faith in Jesus, take heart! The blessing of entering into Gods eternal Kingdom is your reward.

Persecution is like the goldsmith’s hallmark on real silver and gold; it is one of the marks of a converted man.
