How does God use suffering for good?

Answered in 1 source

God allows suffering to refine our faith and to draw us closer to Him, ultimately leading to our spiritual growth.

The concept of God using suffering for our good is clearly laid out in Scripture, notably in Romans 8:28, where it states that God works all things—including suffering—for the good of those who love Him. The experiences of Job and Jeremiah illustrate that hardships often serve to develop our faith, leading us to rely more fully on God's strength instead of our own. This process of refinement can produce a deeper understanding of God's character and a stronger witness to others of His grace in our lives.
