Matthew 10:38

And he who does not take his cross (expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come) and follow Me (believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me) is not worthy of Me.Jesus suffered on the cross here on earth, and God sent Jesus.  We have opposition on earth against God’s people and will make our lives uncomfortable if allowed.  However, we may suffer affliction as born-again believers, but salvation and eternal life are gained through faith in Jesus. Hell doesn’t stand a chance.
