What does the Bible say about suffering and blind faith?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that suffering is not always a direct result of sin, as Jesus clarified in John 9:3.

In John 9, the disciples questioned Jesus about the cause of a man's blindness, assuming it was due to sin either by the man himself or his parents. Jesus responded that neither was true, indicating that suffering can occur for reasons beyond human understanding, often to manifest God's works and glory. This highlights the truth that not all afflictions are a direct punishment for sin, reminding us that suffering can serve a greater sovereign purpose in God's plan, which may remain hidden from our immediate view.
