How do we know that God uses affliction for our good?

Answered in 7 sources

We know God uses affliction for our good as shown in Romans 8:28, which assures that God works all things together for good for those who love Him.

Scripture assures us that 'we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose' (Romans 8:28). This strong assurance extends even to our afflictions, which may be painful and difficult but ultimately serve a divine purpose. Afflictions are designed for us as God's children, tailored to teach and refine us. The experiences we undergo, even those that cause us severe distress, can lead us to deeper reliance on God and a greater understanding of His grace. This divine orchestration means our trials are not random but part of God's loving plan for our sanctification and ultimate good.
