What are the purposes of suffering and trials? Why does God allow them? Those around us might tell us that suffering is pointless, that we should ignore it or rise above it, or perhaps even that karma is paying us back for a wrong we have committed. The Bible, though, gives a very different answer. Scripture clearly addresses suffering—both its presence and its purpose. (After all, no one suffered more than Christ, our Savior.) Its many examples of faithful men and women who encountered various trials demonstrate God’s hand at work throughout history and for His glory.

The Reformers of the 16th century were moved to put their livelihoods, homes, fortunes, and lives on the line to restore the Church to the essential teachings of the Gospel.

If we were to share our experiences as followers of Christ and students of the Bible, we would likely hear many different stories. The life change that has resulted from our conversions, however, would be remarkably similar, since the Holy Spirit fashions each one of us into the very likeness of Christ.

The book of Daniel teaches that at the end of days, Jesus will return, and judgment will follow. For many, this notion is increasingly counter-cultural. For some, it instigates conversations about Armageddon and the “signs of the times,” and can even spark endless debate. With such scattered focus, we can miss the main point of Scripture when it addresses the last days.
