Why do Christians face suffering if God is sovereign?

Answered in 1 source

Christians face suffering because it serves God's purposes in refining faith, drawing us closer to Him, and revealing His glory.

The sermon acknowledges a common struggle: why suffering exists if God is sovereign. While God's sovereignty means He controls all, it does not exempt us from trials. In fact, suffering often has a refining effect, shaping our character and deepening our reliance on Him. Romans 8:28 reminds us that God works all things together for good for those who love Him, indicating that our struggles can serve a greater purpose. God uses our suffering to demonstrate His strength and to help us depend wholly on His grace, which is sufficient even in our weaknesses.
