How does suffering work for our good according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that all things, including suffering, work together for good for those who love God (Romans 8:28).

Romans 8:28 assures us that 'all things work together for good to them that love God.' This includes suffering and trials, which can deepen our reliance on God, produce spiritual growth, and foster humility. While we may not understand the purpose of our suffering at the moment, we trust in God’s perfect wisdom and sovereignty. Our trials can ultimately lead us closer to Christ, shaping our character and attitude, as God uses even our pain for His glory and our good.
