Examples of when good has come out of suffering.

GOOD ANSWER PLEASE

Answer 1

Answer:

Suffering is universal. All creation suffers (Romans 8:22). And in our interconnected world, we know about suffering all over the world. If we have compassion for those we see, we suffer with them.

We ask in desperation, “If God is good, why do I suffer? If God is all-powerful, why doesn’t he deliver me?” We find it difficult to reconcile the fact of our suffering with our faith in God.

Some Christians teach that followers of Christ should not suffer or get sick. But Christians do get sick. Christ’s redemption on the cross does not mean we will not suffer, but it equips us to face suffering. One day God “will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain” (Revelation 21:3-7). In our suffering, believers have hope because we know that suffering is brief and our blessings in heaven are eternal (2 Corinthians 4:16-18).
