What does the Bible say about suffering and grace?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible teaches that suffering can lead to spiritual renewal and is a means through which God's grace is manifested.
In 2 Corinthians 4:15-16, the Apostle Paul reminds us that all things happen for the sake of believers so that abundant grace may result in thanksgiving to the glory of God. This indicates that suffering is not without purpose; it can serve to deepen our reliance on God's grace and help us to grow spiritually. The concept of renewal, as stated in the text, illustrates that while our physical bodies may decay, we are inwardly transformed day by day through the afflictions we face, drawing us closer to God and becoming a testimony to His grace.
