The Bible teaches that suffering is never an exercise in futility, but rather a means for God to polish and sanctify His people, drawing them close to Himself.

The biblical view of suffering is in contrast to pagan views, which often seek to deny or escape suffering, and instead offers a redemptive purpose and a bridge to glory. [... more]

The revealed will of God, or Deus Revelatus, refers to that which God has revealed, while the hidden will of God, or Deus Absconditus, refers to the things that God has not chosen to unveil. Christians must focus on the preceptive will of God, or the commands of God, to discern His will for their lives. [... more]

In contrast, Reformed theology teaches that the grace of regeneration is effectual, and that it is both internal and effectual. The dispute between Arminius and Reformed theology revolves around the role of human ability in salvation. [... more]
