This mini-study looks at questions related to suffering that have troubled people throughout the ages. God does not ignore our heartfelt pleas for understanding. His answers are real, hopeful and life-changing!
As we've watched a loved one suffer or experienced excruciating pain ourselves, we have all faced the profound question: How could a loving God allow this? Why do innocent people go through terrible trauma? Why do some people die so young? Why is our world filled with so much evil, death and suffering?
At the outset we need to realize what God's desire for us is-and that there is another in the spirit realm who does not wish us well.
What does our loving God want for His human children?
"I [Jesus Christ, as the Father's representative] have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" (John 10:10).
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me [Jesus Christ], because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed" (Luke 4:18).
"You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore" (Psalm 16:11).
Many scriptures show that God wants only the best for us. He wants us to enjoy the joyous benefits of being His children forever!
