What does the Bible say about suffering and knowing God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that suffering can deepen our knowledge of God and His truth.

Scripture reveals that believers often experience a profound understanding of God's truth through trials and challenges. In Psalm 65:5, it is affirmed that God answers His people by His righteousness, especially in times of distress. Such experiences are crucial as they lead believers to a more intimate acquaintance with the Savior, enabling them to testify from personal experience rather than mere theoretical knowledge. Just as a mariner acquires practical skill in storms, so believers deepen their understanding of God through life's trials, leading them to confess their limitations and experience God's sufficiency and grace more fully.
