Why suffering occurs in world ?
Suffering as gift from God.
Why God allow suffering ?
- Suffering occurs since our first parents Adam and Eve have disobeyed God and sinned. We all are seeds of Adam and Eve, so sin and suffering follow us through generation after generation.
- This world is ruled by Satan. Satan comes to steal, to deceive and to kill. Satan causes wars, natural disasters, starvation, poverty, children dying in war and so on. Satan wants us to suffer, since he himself is suffering and he wants to pass that sufferings on to us humans in this earth. Another reason Satan wants us to suffer is, Satan hates God and Satan wants God's children humans to suffer so that God will be hurt.
- God allows suffering because through suffering we seek God, and we ask god for help, guidance and endurance during sufferings. Without sufferings, we don't seek God. God loves the people who seeks him.
- People who seeks God; God guides them and helps them to face their trials and tribulation. Imagine you put your finger in candle fire, you quickly move your finger out of the fire so, God gave us pain for our own good so that we don't damage ourself even further. So, pain is good thing, it is there to protect us from further damage.
Suffering as gift from God.
- Suffering is gift from God; through suffering we draw close to God.
- This world life is temporary, Satan only can do us harm only fleshly, and even sometime cause death to us physically. But Satan never can destroy our soul. Our soul is created by God, only God can destroy our soul and cast it into hell, if our souls are unholy. So, fear God not Satan.
- Every Human in life faces some suffering, its an opportunity God gives us to know about him so that we seek him and be obedience so that our souls will be saved and have eternal life in heaven with God.
Why God allow suffering ?
- This world is place for testing our faith and obedience. Only righteous and holy ones can inherit the kingdom of God.
- God don't want any unholy souls to enter his kingdom, since Adam and Eve sinned and disobeyed, and so is Satan(Lucifer) who sinned against God. God uses this world as testing ground to select the righteous and holy ones to be selected into heaven for eternal life with him.
- God sends angels as poor people, as children dying in war and so on to make us realize how blessed we are, and also to test us to see if we really care for those who are helpless and needy. God tests us to see if we care for those who are below us. (Blessed are those who helps the needy and poor).
- Even if Satan destroys people in natural disaster in mass numbers, the righteous one are taken into heaven.
- Satan kills people in mass number to make us hate God. Satan will use all its power to deceive people and try to prevent people from reaching God.
- This worldly life is temporary, everything in this world, all of it is temporary so, why do we have to worry about this temporary life and make our souls corrupted.
- Wages of sin is death. so, God wants each of our souls to be saved, God showed his love towards us by incarnating himself as human in flesh and suffered, and also shed his blood to die on cross to save us from our sins. Jesus resurrected on third day to show us we can over come death and have eternal life.
- Humans love on this earth might change and failing but God's love never changes and never fails. God never forsakes us or abandon us.
- God gives us an opportunity in this earthly life to change our hearts and to save our souls through tribulation and suffering which themselves are lessons in life to make us holy.
- God not only loves us, he is also a strict teacher, sometime his strictness seems like a punishment, but he does that to make us learn from our mistakes or us being spoiled or corrupt. So, this life in this earth is temporary and a test ground to select the holy and righteous ones to have eternal life with God.
- Our life on this earth is a learning experience to correct our mistakes and sins, so that we do the will and plans of God in our life. God never said there wont be any sufferings. If you suffer feel blessed.
