Listen "Why Does God Allow Suffering? | Dr. Kevin Richard"
Episode Synopsis
In the face of life's most challenging moments, we're confronted with the age-old question: Why does a good God allow suffering? This powerful message delves into the heart of this dilemma, reminding us that while we may not have all the answers, we can develop a framework for enduring evil and suffering while remaining grounded in faith. At the core of this framework is the profound truth that 'God is love' - a statement that gives us a glimpse into the very nature of the divine. As beings created in God's image, we too are designed for love, but our freedom allows for the possibility of choosing against God. This choice has brought death and decay into the world, setting the stage for the ultimate redemption story. The gospel, as Jesus himself proclaimed, is not just about personal salvation, but about the coming of God's kingdom - a restoration and renewal of all creation. We're called to live in this 'already but not yet' reality, where suffering still exists, but where we can also witness and participate in God's ongoing work of redemption. This message challenges us to see beyond our immediate circumstances and to trust in the ultimate goodness of a God who stepped down to sacrifice Himself for us.
