What does the Bible say about why bad things happen to good people?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that all things happen for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).

The Apostle Paul endured a multitude of trials, including beatings, imprisonment, and hardships. Despite these adversities, he remained steadfast in his understanding that all events in his life were orchestrated by God for a purpose. Not only do they serve to bring him closer to Christ, but they also promote the spread of the Gospel, ultimately for the glory of God. Romans 8:28 assures us that ‘all things work together for good to them that love God’—this underscores the sovereignty of God over all circumstances, transforming even trials into opportunities for spiritual growth and evangelism.
