God has a purpose in all the experiences that believers have in life

Ro 8:28; Eph 1:11
See also Ge 21:22; Ge 28:16; Ge 39:20–21; Ge 45:5–8; 1 Sa 2:6–9; 1 Ch 29:11–12; Job 42:10–13; Ps 75:6–7; Ac 17:28; 1 Pe 4:12

Rejection of this conviction leads to despair

God uses every experience in the lives of believers for good

To warn and correct

Psalm 119:67 KJV 1900
Before I was afflicted I went astray: But now have I kept thy word.
See also Ge 12:17; 2 Ch 7:13–14; Job 5:17; Is 38:17; Is 48:9–10; Am 4:10–11; Ro 2:4; Heb 12:5–11; Re 9:20–21

To test and exercise believers’ trust in God

Deuteronomy 8:15–16 KJV 1900
Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint; Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
See also Ex 15:22–25; Jdg 2:21–22; Ps 23:1–6; Ps 81:7; Is 43:1–2; Na 1:7; Ro 8:35–39; Php 4:12; Heb 11:17–19; Heb 13:6

To purify and prepare believers for glory

2 Corinthians 4:16–17 KJV 1900
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
See also Job 23:10; Ps 66:10; Is 48:10; Je 9:7; Zec 13:8–9; Ro 5:3–5; Ro 8:28–30; 1 Pe 1:6–7

To benefit others

Es 4:14; 2 Co 1:3–6; 2 Co 4:15; Php 1:12–14; 2 Ti 2:10

In all of life’s experiences believers should be thankful and trusting

Philippians 4:6 KJV 1900
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
See also Ge 8:20 Noah’s sacrifice would, among other things, express his thankfulness; Dt 8:18; Job 1:20–21; Ps 103:1–2; Pr 3:5–6; Ac 16:25; Eph 5:20; 1 Ti 4:4–5

Believers do not merit the blessings they receive

See also Ge 32:10; Ge 50:19–21; Ezr 9:13; La 3:22; Lk 7:6; Ro 6:23
