Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently…what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.

After the sufferings of Christ, a life of glory ensued. You don’t need to “pay” any additional price, aside what Christ already did for you to have a beautiful life, and be all that God wants you to be.
His sacrifice was enough. Due to that sacrifice, you’ve become one with God; you’re now a partaker of His life and of His righteousness. What He expects of you now is that you enjoy your life and live your best to His glory.
On the Cross, before His death, Jesus said in (John 19:30 ).
KJV:When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
He announced the end to suffering for all humanity. Anyone who believes in Him and accepts His vicarious sacrifice is automatically ushered into the transcendent life of glory.
Yes, Christ suffered for us, but that suffering brought us life eternal, and righteousness.
Moreover, the story didn’t end with His death; the Bible says,
Luke 24:46-47 ).
46
KJV:And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47
KJV:And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Therefore, rather than lament, we celebrate His death for us; much more, we celebrate His resurrection that gave us a new life and made us associates of the God-kind.
God wants you to live every day in the victory of the death, burial and glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ.
This means if you were lying on a sickbed, it’s time to get up, because His suffering brought an end to sickness, disease and infirmities. Just as death and the grave couldn’t hold Him down, nothing of darkness should be able to exert influence or control over you, refuse to allow anything keep you in bondage.
Refuse to allow poverty take a hold of you, for Jesus took your place of poverty on the Cross and gave you prosperity
( 2 Corinthians 8:9 ).
KJV:For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
