What does the Bible say about grace in affliction?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that God's grace sustains believers through affliction, proving their faith and character.

In 2 Timothy 2:1, the Apostle Paul encourages Timothy to be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. This indicates that during times of affliction, it is essential for believers to rely on God's grace. Afflictions serve a divine purpose: they reveal both the corruption of our sinful nature and the grace of God at work within us. Through our struggles, we gain a clearer understanding of our dependence on God's sustaining grace, which is vital for our perseverance.
