The Categories and Benefits of Suffering
Making Sense Out Of SufferingSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses the various categories and benefits of suffering. He asserts that while some types of suffering can be corrective discipline for wrong behavior, there is also suffering that comes to those who have not done anything wrong. Despite this, Gregg explains that suffering can yield benefits such as building perseverance and endurance, yielding a fruit of righteousness, and leading to compassion for those who are going through similar struggles. Ultimately, Gregg suggests that through suffering, we can learn obedience and become closer to God.
