What does the Bible say about human suffering?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that man is born to trouble, as seen in Job 5:7 and John 16:33.

Scripture reveals that human suffering is an inevitable part of life after the fall. Job 5:7 states, 'Man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward,' highlighting the universal experience of sorrow. In John 16:33, Jesus assures us that in this world we will face trials, yet He provides comfort and assurance, emphasizing that He has overcome the world. This duality of existence—trouble and divine support—frames the Christian's approach to suffering.
