Growing through suffering

Bible text(s)

Romans 5

Right with God

1Now that we have been put right with God through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2He has brought us by faith into this experience of God's grace, in which we now live. And so we boast of the hope we have of sharing God's glory! 3We also boast of our troubles, because we know that trouble produces endurance, 4endurance brings God's approval, and his approval creates hope. 5This hope does not disappoint us, for God has poured out his love into our hearts by means of the Holy Spirit, who is God's gift to us.

Romans 5:1-5GNBOpen in Bible reader

Although we do not always want to hear it, it is true that we grow through suffering. The Bible also teaches that suffering helps to build our character.
