Depends.
1. Sometimes we make our own troubles by the poor choices we make.
2. It doesn't have to stay that bad. Again....choice.
3. Sometimes we have trials to see if we'll stay faithful.
4. Sometimes we have trials because that's the only way God can get our attention and help us realize something in your life needs changing. It's simply not working.
5. Not necessarily a [u]test[/u] for the next life, but to [u]prepare[/u] us for the next life. If we can't get along here, how are we going to get along in heaven?
6. Problems teach us patience and perseverance.
7. Problems (hopefully) help us learn and [u]grow.[/u] And grow UP ... take responsibility for our life.
However, make no mistake. One can [b]never[/b] get to heaven by good deeds. You cannot [u]earn[/u] your way to heaven, in any way, shape, or form. God says so in His Word. Only by having your sins forgiven by Jesus. Jesus doesn't want a half-hearted commitment. Faith, repentance,
and total commitment are the keys to heaven.
