Suffering is one of the most difficult realities of living in a fallen world, but Scripture gives Christians real hope. In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins explains God's purpose in our pain and why believers can trust Him through every trial. Passages covered include Romans 8:28, 2 Corinthians 12:9–10, James 1:2–4, 1 Peter 3:15, and 2 Corinthians 4:16–18. Dave outlines four biblical truths: suffering reminds us of our need for God, refines our faith, becomes a testimony to others, and points us to our eternal hope in Christ. This episode is an encouragement for anyone in hardship: Christ is with you, Christ is for you, and Christ will sustain you. For more from Anchored in the Word please visit:
