How does God use suffering for His glory?

Answered in 1 source

God uses suffering as a means to reveal His glory and to strengthen the faith of those who trust in Him.

Suffering is a profound and often misunderstood aspect of the Christian experience. In John 11:4, Jesus clearly states that Lazarus's sickness is 'for the glory of God,' illustrating that God sovereignly ordains suffering to achieve divine purposes. Rather than rejecting suffering, believers are called to understand it as an opportunity for God to display His power and majesty. Throughout Scripture, we see that suffering can lead to greater faith, deeper reliance on God, and greater testimonies of His goodness and grace. Romans 8:28 assures us that all things work together for good to those who love God, emphasizing that God is actively involved in our trials to bring about His glory.
