Why is understanding God's love important during trials?

In turmoil and suffering, the love of God is a profound comfort. Knowing that God loves us with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3) empowers believers to trust Him even in painful circumstances. As Job grappled with his trials, he discovered that God's ultimate purpose was not to destroy him but to refine him. The purification process reveals not only our own hearts but also God's deep, abiding love. This understanding enables believers to approach their trials with hope, knowing they are attended for their good and for His glory, as articulated in Romans 8:28, 'And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God.'
