We know God uses temptations for good because Scripture explicitly states that He causes all things, including temptations, to ultimately result in our good.
The assurance that God works through temptation for our good is grounded in Scripture. Romans 8:28 tells us that God orchestrates all things for the good of those who love Him. This promise encompasses trials and temptations that believers face. Even when Satan attacks, his efforts are overruled by God's providence, leading us towards spiritual growth rather than destruction. This powerful truth allows Christians to view temptations not simply as hurdles, but as divine tools for deepening faith, fostering humility, and developing a reliance on Christ's sufficiency.
