Why does a good God allow us to suffer?

1 Peter shows us that pain isn’t pointless. If you belong to Christ, your suffering has a purpose — to shape you, grow you, and glorify God. Before the world began, He chose you, set you apart by His Spirit, and sprinkled you with Christ’s blood so you could obey Him. That means no tear is wasted. Your struggles become a stage for His glory and a way to love like Jesus in a hurting world.
