What does the Bible say about God's sovereignty over suffering?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that all suffering in a believer's life is appointed by God and serves His eternal purpose.
In Romans 8:28-30, we are reminded that all things work together for good to those who love God, indicating that even the trials and suffering believers face are under God's sovereign control. The sermon emphasizes that nothing comes into the life of a child of God apart from divine purpose, and God's management of their suffering is both intentional and purposeful, allowing His children to endure challenges in a manner that glorifies Him. Each affliction is measured and accompanied by sufficient grace to bear it, ensuring that the affections and experiences of God's children remain tailored to His sovereign design.
