Why does God allow trials in our lives?

Answered in 1 source

God allows trials to reveal our sinfulness and turn our hearts back to Christ, our only hope.

God allows trials in our lives to expose our weaknesses and our sinful nature, prompting us to rely wholly on Christ. In every trial, we see our tendency to doubt and complain, just as the Israelites did. These moments are allowed to remind us that all our strength lies in Christ, not ourselves. Each event serves as a reminder of our need for redemption and continual dependence on the Savior who sanctifies us and leads us through the wilderness of this world towards our heavenly home.
