Sufferings and tribulations, in the life of a believer, will always have an outcome with hope. We endure trials and tribulations in many forms however, with God's help, we are able to endure. The outcome is always promising, no matter what the situation. If we live through the trial, then we have obtained, only with God's help, character and strength that is pleasing to God. Now, if we do not live through suffering and tribulation, our hope does not end, for we will spend eternity with God. So, my point, either way, if we continue to trust God, endure and follow through, there is always hope in the end.
Hope: Brings confidence because we know God's promises. Whatever outcome this life brings, we will always have the promises of God, to stand on. For those who do not know God, their understanding of "hope," can only just get them by.
Perseverance: Gives believers strength. Without the strength which only God provides, how would we be able to withstand the next trial? Therefore, strength from God is an amazing thing. It allows us to sustain.
Character: Without character, believers would most likely be weak. The type of character in a believer can only come from God allowing trials to build us up.
