What does Psalm 119 teach Christians about suffering?

  1. That suffering is a consequence of sin

  2. They can learn from their previous suffering

  3. Suffering is always a punishment

  4. Only faith can end suffering

The correct answer is: That suffering is a consequence of sin

Psalm 119 does not teach that suffering is always a punishment (C) or that only faith can end suffering (D). While Christians can certainly learn from previous suffering (B), the main focus of the Psalm is on the consequences of sin (A) and how seeking God's guidance and following His word can bring comfort and strength during times of suffering. The Psalmist acknowledges that suffering is a part of life, but ultimately points to God as the source of hope and healing in the midst of it.
