Just as God uses trials to bless and refine His people, He is shaping us through suffering to grow in faith and Christlikeness. Our trials are not meaningless; they are tools of God’s discipline and love, calling us to trust Him fully, rejoice in sharing Christ’s sufferings, and remain faithful in doing good, knowing He is at work for our ultimate blessing.

Suffering for righteousness is purposeful—it strengthens faith, reveals God’s glory, and helps believers fulfill their calling as they await their eternal reward.
