What role does tribulation play in a Christian's sanctification?

Answered in 1 source

Tribulation serves as a means by which God sanctifies believers, refining their faith and drawing them closer to Him.

Tribulation plays an instrumental role in the sanctification of Christians, functioning as a divine tool to prepare them for greater holiness and dependence on God. As believers endure hardships, they experience spiritual refinement akin to the process of separating wheat from chaff. This can be seen in Romans 5:3-5, where tribulation produces patience, experience, and hope. Moreover, as trials wean believers from earthly attachments, they spark a deeper longing for the heavenly sustenance promised in Scripture, thus drawing the heart toward eternal treasures and a closer relationship with Christ.
