2 SOMETIMES GOD USES SUFFERING AND PAIN IN OUR SPIRITUAL LIFE TOO.

3 SOMETIMES GOD USES PAIN TO TEACH US.

Is God impervious to our pain? –2 Corinthians 5:21 (NIV) God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. –2 Corinthians 5:21 (The Message) God put the wrong on him who never did anything wrong, so we could be put right with God.
