What does the Bible say about God's purpose in trials?
Answered in 4 sources
The Bible teaches that God brings His people into trials with a divine purpose for His glory and our good (Romans 8:28).
The scripture strongly affirms that God does not lead His people into trials without purpose. This is seen in the story of the Israelites at the Red Sea, where God orchestrated their circumstances to reveal His power and to demonstrate their need for Him. Romans 8:28 underscores this truth, stating that all things work together for good to those who love God, underscoring that God's sovereignty governs even the hard times in life to ultimately glorify Himself and benefit His people.
