The Goodness of God in 2020.. and Beyond JOY SUFFERING 12/29/2019 Jon Gaus Selected Passages The Bible tells us that sooner or later all of God’s people will face trials and suffering in this world. Our Heavenly Father loves so much that he tells the purposes of trials and suffering in our life. Because we know that trials are used by God to conform us more and more into the likeness of Jesus Christ, we can rejoice in our trials even though they are painful to go through. Message Notes
