Who will Answer this Question?

[Gladys]

People have been asking this question for many years and they will go on asking until Jesus comes. If God is love why then are many suffering in pain, accidents, losses, death and sickness? We have never found a complete satisfying answer but the bible tells us several helpful suggestions.

All this happens because of the consequence of Eve’s disobedience. We have different types of suffering.

• We may suffer as a result of ignoring basic laws. Galatians 6:7.

• We suffer as a result of natural disaster or accidents. Luke 13:2-3.

• We suffer as a result of power in the hands of evil men. Habakkuk 1:13.

• Our suffering may result of God’s remedial judgment. Lamentation 3:33.

• We suffer as a result of dedication to Jesus Christ. John 15:20.

Jesus Christ suffered and yet was the son of God, therefore we should be ready to suffer because we have forgotten God therefore those suffering remind us about God.

Temptation is there in the world but if the world can lead you to trials then avoid it, if you are tempted and you sin judgment is awaiting you, severe judgment indeed, but good advice is given in the bible that it is rather good for one to enter life while lame, or with one hand than both only to enter eternal fire, suffering has been made part of us, we should handle them in a Godly manner and victory will be granted to us.

Many of the difficulties that we face in life are meant to strengthen our faith in Christ and to ensure our complete dependence on God. By allowing God to dwell in our lives, we will get to conquer all those sufferings. We should also employ the use of the Holy Bible to get answers to our life questions.

Let it be always in our mind that Christ came for all of us and it was His Father's will to heal us from sins. Through His grace, He gave His Son to undergo suffering and difficulties in order for us to receive the kingdom. We also need to do everything for His sake even if it means suffering to make His Gospel known all over the world since our rewards awaits us after the mission!

All these are here to pass and as much as we live in the world where Satan is, we must expect all sorts of hardships. It is because the devil wins God's souls this way by luring the virtuous into sin after long periods of suffering. We shouldn't succumb to his traps even if our friends ridicule our steadfastness in the Lord. Just like Job, we should stand firm and God will see us through.

The pains and suffering on earth are tests of our faith. God needs the tolerant, persistent and patient. What we do not know we should leave unto God. (Deuteronomy 29:29)

[Alloys]

The author of all trouble and suffering is the devil. Now I know you will ask who between God and the devil is stronger. It is not about strength it is about principles that God lays in place that must be met. In a match all that matters is the rule of the game for a score to be called a score. Now God put it that sons of men rule and subdue the earth. We ignorantly gave that right to the devil though our first parents Adam and Eve. Though all that happened now Christ came that we may get our authority restored. Failing to note crucial principles of God may lead us to destruction/Sheol on earth. Since we live in the same place with the destroyer, as ignorant children many of us get tossed here and there. Unlike to the mature it doesn’t imply as though God has lost it. He is Love and as He was shall remain the same.

Sometimes, we suffer because of the sins of our forefathers. We have seen people in the bible who suffer for the sins of others. At times we suffer for the test of our faith; Job suffered so that his faith could be tested… still as Christians we should learn not to ask for answers but keep the faith. This is more important as it will get us to heaven and ask God all the questions we have.

[lynkez]

Let God heal our broken souls and give us the strength to move on no matter how much pain and suffering we have gone through. Job is an example of the long-suffering yet faithful and trusting in the Lord.
