Why does God allow Christians to suffer?

  • Discipline for personal sin (Heb. 12:7, 11)
  • Dev. Perseverance, character, maturity (Rom. 5:3-5, James 1:2-4)
  • Comfort others (2 Cor. 1:3-4)
  • Opportunity to advance gospel (Phil. 1:12)
  • Follow Christ’s example, show His glory (1 Peter 4:12-14)
  • Show genuine faith and glorify God (1 Peter 1:6-7)
