How do we know the gospel will be advanced through trials?

Answered in 1 source

History shows that the gospel is advanced even in dire circumstances, as exemplified by Paul's imprisonment.

The Apostle Paul asserts in Philippians 1:12 that the things which have happened to him have turned out for the furtherance of the gospel. This reflects the sovereignty of God at work, utilizing even adverse situations to spread His message. As Paul preached within the confines of his imprisonment, the gospel reached even the palace guard and beyond. Such examples affirm that God’s purpose will prevail in all circumstances, advancing His kingdom despite human opposition or suffering.
