How do we know that faith in Christ does not exempt us from trouble?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Christ does not exempt believers from life's troubles, as illustrated by Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, who faced many challenges.

The story of Martha, Mary, and Lazarus demonstrates that even those who have faith encounter difficulties, as seen in Luke 10:38-42 and its connection to John 11. They faced personal challenges such as sin, bereavement, and even persecution because of their devotion to Christ. The presence of trouble serves to remind us that grace does not shield us from the realities of a sin-cursed world, but rather equips us to face these challenges with hope and strength that comes from Christ.
