How do we know God's will is for our good?

Answered in 1 source

God's will is inherently good as He is a loving and sovereign being who desires the best for His people.

We understand that God's will is for our good through both His character and the assurances given in Scripture. In Jeremiah 29:11, God states, 'For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.' This embodies the assurance that God’s will is not arbitrary; rather, it stems from His nature as a loving father who seeks our ultimate benefit and good. Furthermore, in Romans 8:28, we see that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, demonstrating His omniscient orchestration of our lives in accordance with His divine plan. Thus, we can rest in the confidence that even the trials serve His purposes and will ultimately contribute to our good and His glory.
