“It seems clear then that the foremost reason God tests us through suffering is to test the strength of our faith.” (Page 26)
“Finally, I believe God allows trials and sufferings to develop in us enduring strength for greater usefulness.” (Page 39)
“We should if we realize that a second reason God sends trials is to humble us. He uses suffering to remind us not to think more confidently of our spiritual strength than we should (Rom. 12:3).” (Page 31)
“A fourth purpose the Lord has in sending trials is to call us to a greater realization of our eternal hope. To state it more simply, trials make us long for heaven.” (Page 34)
“Because materialism can be such a stumbling block for believers, a serious reflection of these matters leads to a third reason for the Lord bringing us trials: to wean us away from worldly things.” (Page 33)
