What does the Bible say about trials in life?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that trials are a part of the Christian experience and serve to strengthen faith and produce patience.

The Bible, particularly in 1 Peter and James, emphasizes the inevitability and purpose of trials in the life of believers. In 1 Peter 1:4, it is clear that trials touch us personally and reveal our true nature and faith. James 1:2-3 adds that we should consider it pure joy whenever we face trials because they test our faith and develop perseverance. Therefore, these trials are not arbitrary but are instead used by God to draw us closer to Him and refine our character.
