Why do Christians go through trials according to Scripture?

Scripture teaches that trials are a fundamental aspect of the Christian life, serving to refine and strengthen faith. In Hebrews 12, believers are encouraged to endure hardship as discipline, emphasizing that such trials yield the 'peaceable fruit of righteousness' to those trained by them. Just as a gardener prunes vines for greater fruitfulness, God uses trials in the lives of believers to promote growth in grace and dependency on Him. This process not only draws believers closer to Christ but also glorifies God through our response to adversity.
