From my Bible reading:
For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. – 1 John 5:4
From my book reading:
“No amount of good theology is able to take the pain out of suffering. Too often we allow ourselves to believe that a robust view of God’s sovereignty in all things means that when suffering comes it won’t hurt. God’s sovereignty doesn’t take away the pain and evil that confront us in our lives; it works them for our good.” -Dustin Shramek in Suffering and the Sovereignty of God
