What does the Bible say about suffering and God's people?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that suffering is not punishment for sin but part of the fallen condition of humanity.

In the Book of Job, we learn that suffering is not a direct punishment for the sins of God's people, as that punishment was fully absorbed by Christ on the cross. Suffering often stems from the consequences of the fall, where our flesh remains in a state of decay. Job's experiences illustrate that, while God's people may endure trials, it is not out of retribution but as part of God's sovereign plan.
