What does the theology of your religion say? Suffering on earth serves a purpose of some kind?

I am not theologist, but in school we were taught at "religion classes" (had also a little bit of other religions than Cristianity), that humans are not "robots" and neither other living things. So, we and others have a freedom and it has a price. God's interference would seriously question our freedom. And wouldn't it be quite problematic anyway, to what to interfere to and to what don't?
