✦ Learning the Gospel

Lesson 27 of 28

Trials and Perseverance

Learn how to trust God, seek help, and keep following Jesus during suffering.

1

Trials are real

Following Jesus does not remove every hardship. Believers experience grief, injustice, sickness, loss, and uncertainty.

Where to read: John 16:25–33.

John 16:33

“In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”

2

God works through hardship

God can use trials to deepen endurance, character, wisdom, compassion, and hope without calling evil good.

Where to read: James 1:2–8.

James 1:3

“Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.”

3

Do not walk alone

Bring pain honestly to God, receive support from others, and remember that nothing can separate believers from Christ’s love.

Where to read: Romans 8:18–39.

Romans 8:39

“Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God.”
