Description

One of the most common questions people ask is, “If God is a loving Father, why does He allow His children to go through painful and difficult trials?” In this sermon, Dr. Stanley explains how God uses trials to do several things including:

 

- Increasing our faith.
- Testing our devotion to God.
- Sanctifying us.
- Demonstrating His love and power.
- Producing a Christ-like spirit in us.
- Equipping us for a future task.

 

He also says there are 10 ways we can respond properly to trials in our lives. We must believe:

 

1. God is in control.
2. The Lord has a specific purpose for trials.
3. Our circumstances are designed to meet specific needs in our lives.
4. The trials will prove to be good if we respond in faith.
5. Difficulties can strengthen our faith.
6. God will help us demonstrate perseverance under pressure.
7. Struggles will develop Christ-likeness in us.
8. They will help us measure our spiritual walk.
9. God will be with us the entire way.
10. His grace and power will help us overcome them.

 

God doesn’t promise to explain everything to us. However, if we keep a godly attitude and ask for wisdom in our circumstances, we can prevail over our difficulties, gain a sense of peace, and arrive on the other side with greater faith and stronger relationship with our Heavenly Father.
