In this episode, we are continuing our study on suffering in the life of the Christian and processing through eight outcomes of suffering in our lives:
- Suffering is used by God to grow us in holiness
- Suffering is used by God to build perseverance (or endurance)
- The third way that God uses suffering in our lives as Christians is to grow us in maturity
- Fourthly, God uses suffering to teach us His word
- Fifthly, God uses suffering in our lives to help us encourage others
- Sixthly, God uses suffering in our lives as Christians to wean us off self-reliance
- Next, God uses suffering in our lives to strengthen our assurance
- Which brings us to our last main point: that God uses suffering in our lives as Christians to glorify Himself.
