A Biblical Perspective on Trials and Suffering
- God’s purpose in afflicting us is always for our good or betterment.
- There are four things God is attempting to accomplish through our trials/suffering:
- To atone, remove, or cleanse sin from our flesh.
- To discourage us in the practice of sin and folly.
- To make us morally stronger.
- To make us long to leave this world and go to heaven.
