“Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered. And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation.” (Hebrews 5:8-9 NASB1995)
This is speaking of Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, the second person of our triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He was with God in the beginning, he is God, and he is our creator God who left his throne in heaven, humbled himself, and took on human form by allowing himself to be born as a baby to a human mother, but conceived of the Holy Spirit. So when he lived on this earth he was both fully God and fully human (God incarnate), who was not born with a sin nature, and who never sinned once.
And while he lived on the earth, during his years of ministry, he healed the sick and afflicted, raised the dead, delivered people from demons, fed the hungry, comforted the sorrowful, and preached repentance for the forgiveness of sins and obedience to God as required for eternal life with God. Most of the Jews did not believe in him, and their leaders in the temple largely were strongly opposed to Jesus and to his ministry, and so they persecuted him, and eventually they had him put to death on a cross.
[Isaiah 53:1-12; Matthew 26:26-29; Luke 17:25; John 1:1-36; John 6:35-58; John 8:24,58; John 10:27-33; John 20:28-29; Romans 5:8; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 9:5; 1 Corinthians 11:23-32; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8; Ephesians 2:8-10; Philippians 2:5-11; Colossians 2:9; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 1:8-9; Hebrews 2:14-15; Hebrews 4:15; 1 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Peter 1:1]
But Jesus Christ did not remain dead. On the third day God the Father resurrected him from the dead. And for about 40 days he appeared to many people in his resurrected body, and then he ascended back to heaven in his glorified body, no longer living in a human body subject to weaknesses and injury and death, but now rendered completely perfect. And so he who was obedient to death on a cross, in taking our sins upon himself when he died, he became to all those who OBEY him the source of eternal salvation.
For in Jesus’ death, he put our sins to death with him so that, by faith in him, we will now die with him to sin and be raised with him to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin, but now as slaves to God and to his righteousness. For by God-gifted and God-persuaded faith in the Lord Jesus we are now to walk (in conduct) no longer according to the flesh but according to the Spirit, and no longer in sin, but now in walks of obedience to our Lord and to his commandments (New Covenant).
And Jesus taught that if our faith in him is of God, and so we are following him in walks of obedience to his commands, we will be persecuted as he was persecuted. And who were Jesus’ persecutors? They were rulers and people of influence in the temple of God and in the synagogues, and those who were teachers of the Scriptures and who claimed God as their Lord. But many of them were putting on a show of righteousness on the outside while inside they were full of wickedness and engaged in secretive sins.
So, we should not be surprised if some of our greatest persecution comes not from people who make no professions of faith in Jesus Christ but from many who do give lip service to God and who claim faith in Jesus Christ but who are living worldly lives. And some of them may be pastors and elders of church congregations who are teaching an altered gospel message and who are marketing their “churches” to the people of the world, and so they have also recreated “church” to make it more appealing to the ungodly.
And so many of them are not teaching that, to all those who OBEY HIM, Jesus Christ became the source of eternal salvation. But they are teaching that Jesus Christ became to all who profess faith in him the source of eternal salvation, with obedience either taught against or taught more as something we should do, but that if we don’t do, will not impact our eternal salvation. And so if we are teaching what Jesus taught, that obedience to God is essential to our salvation, then we will be opposed and persecuted by some.

Blessed are you when you’re persecuted
Because of your faith in Jesus Christ.
Blessed are you when people insult you,
And falsely say what leads folks to doubt.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is
Great in the heavens. You’re not alone.
When you are persecuted in one place,
Flee to another. God will be there.
You will be hated by all the nations
Because you testify of God’s grace.
Many will seize you and persecute you,
And put to death the foll’wers of Christ.
Yet do not fear what humans may do to you,
For I’m with you all through the night.
I tell you, love your enemies with my love,
And forgive as I forgave you.
Pray for those who do evil against you.
Rest in my love and grace from above.
