How do we know that God's grace is sufficient in times of trial?
Answered in 1 source
God's grace sustains believers in trials, ensuring that no affliction is wasted, but used for a greater purpose.
The assurance of God's grace is foundational in Christian theology. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, Paul writes, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' This verse reinforces that during our trials, God's grace not only sustains us but also reveals His strength in our weakness. Our afflictions serve a divine purpose, often shaping us into vessels for His glory. As shown in the life of Job, he acknowledged his losses yet proclaimed, 'The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord' (Job 1:21). Therefore, we can trust that God's grace will carry us through our deepest sorrows.
