"Suffering" by James Dyet

15 points on why God allows us to suffer. by James Dyet

1) Suffering is a force that pushes us closer to God. It helps us see our weaknesses and the need to rely on Him.

2) Suffering develops Christlike character (Rom. 8:18–29).

3) Suffering uncovers the genuineness of our faith (1 Pet. 1:6–7).

4) The comfort we receive during our suffering enables us to comfort others (2 Cor. 1:5–7).

5) Christians who have experienced intense suffering display intense grace (2 Cor. 12:7–9).

6) Our suffering provides opportunity to tap into our Lord's strength (2 Cor. 9:10).

7) Suffering helps us keep our focus on Heaven and eternal values (2 Cor. 4:16—5:5; Phil. 1:20–23; Col. 3:1–4; 2 Tim. 6–8).

8) God doesn't test us beyond what we can bear (1 Cor. 10:13).

9) God's way is sometimes hard, but it is always perfect (Psm. 18:30a).

10) Sometimes, God's will is mysterious, but it is always best. Herod executed James, but God extricated Peter from a similar fate. (Acts 12).

11) The Rapture—the blessed hope— may occur in our lifetime and will end our suffering.

12) God may receive greater glory through a suffering believer's display of faith than through healing.

13) Job's questions about suffering were answered by a revelation of God's sovereignty (Job 42–6).

14) The curse of sin ravages human life as well as nature. Our sufferings are a reflection of the extent of the curse.

15) Heaven's joys will make earth's sufferings seem like nothing. (Rev. 21:1–5).
