Listen "Why does God allow suffering? "
Episode Synopsis
In response to so many tragic and evil things happening in our world recently, we have constantly seen questions like "why does God allow suffering?" or "If there is a God, how could He let something like this happen?"
As a Christian, it can be so disheartening to hear those things and it can also bring up questions or doubts in our own mind as well as be difficult to answer someone asking those questions.
To begin to answer these questions, we have to look all the way back to the first book of the Bible, in Genesis. We learn that in the begining, God created man and woman who were perfect and without sin. Sin entered the world when Eve was deceived by Satan and that is when humans were separated from God and a world with suffering and loss began.
God does not CAUSE evil things and suffering to happen, those are a result of human choices and sin.
Despite sin and suffering, we can find peace knowing that God is always in control and has a perfect plan, God is always with us to provide comfort and peace, God can make good out of all bad things and God will judge all in His perfect time.
As believers we are not immune to that suffering, but instead of questioning God or blaming God, we must look to Him and trust His plan for our lives and for this world and know that He is in control, that He has a perfect plan that surpasses all human understanding,
We dive deeper into this question and the scriptures on this week's podcast episode!
