B. Bad Things that Work for Our Good
1. Suffering –
Teaches us to hate sin
Teaches us to see our own sin
It drives us to God
It conforms us to the image of Christ
It drives sin out of our lives
It confirms that we are children of God
It produces joy
It makes us long for heaven
2. Struggling with Temptation –
It drives us to pray
It shatters our spiritual pride
It shows us where we are vulnerable to sin
It helps us to help others
It drives us to the Word of God
It makes us desire heaven
3. Sin Itself
It encourages humility
It brings about brokenness
It brings about self-distrust
It drives us to God
It makes us long for heaven
It allows God to display His mercy and grace
It generates praise for God’s forgiveness
