What is the relationship between conflict and spiritual growth?

Conflict is an inevitable part of life and can serve as a catalyst for spiritual growth. Romans 8:28 reminds us that for those who love God, all things—including conflicts—work for good. When handled through a biblical lens, conflicts help us to confront our own shortcomings and call us to rely on the grace of God. Rather than viewing conflict solely as a negative experience, Christians are encouraged to see it as an opportunity to grow in faith, reflecting God’s character in how we respond to others.
