How do we know God's love is shown through trials?

Throughout scripture, trials are seen as instrumental in shaping believers’ faith and understanding of God's love. For instance, in the accounts of Hezekiah, David, and Job, adverse situations prompt them to seek God earnestly. In moments of affliction, they experienced divine comfort and a deeper realization of God's grace. These experiences highlight that God employs challenges to draw His children closer to Him, refining their faith and dependence upon His strength. As noted in the case of Hezekiah, such trials lead to a profound acknowledgment of life’s true source—God’s sustaining grace.
