THE BIBLE SAYS THAT: THROUGH SUFFERING GOD WILL PERFECT
AL CHRISTIAN (katartisei = mending the broken, replacing a missing part, maturity).
This word is used 13 times in the New Testament, it means:
- Patch (Mt.4: 21; Mr.1: 19)
- Perfect (Mt.21: 16; Lc.6: 40; 1Cor.1: 10; 2Cor.13: 11)
- Prepare (Rom.9: 22)
- Restore (Gal.6: 1)
- Make fit (Heb.13: 21)
That is, suffering can provide the Christian with what is lacking in his character. With suffering, God intends to add details to life beautiful.
