There are no words to describe the anguish being felt
by those who are suffering today, our hearts and prayers have and will go out
to them. There are virus, sickness and diseases, crime, death etc. Perhaps you
have been asking the question “WHY”?
God created man perfect, and he lived in a perfect
world without suffering. The Bible tells us that God cursed the earth because
of Adam’s sin. When sin came into the world, death and misery came with it.
And
unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and
hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat
of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all
the days of thy life;
Genesis 3:17(KJV)
Sadly,
many use the issue of suffering as an excuse to reject any thought of God, when
existence of suffering is the very reason we should accept Him. To understand
why there is suffering we must read His Word, the Holy Bible.
Wherefore,
as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed
upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Romans 5:12(KJV)
How
can we know that the Bible is true? Simply read and study the prophecies of:
Matthew 24, Luke 21, and 2 Timothy 3. When people repent from their sins, believe
on Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, fully trust, have faith in Him alone,
whatever life brings only Jesus Christ can be relied on.
And
saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and
believe the gospel.
Mark 1:15(KJV)
Now is the time to get right with God, to get close
to Him, to get saved from the wrath to come. ‘behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of
salvation.’2 Corinthians 6:2
When
people receive the message of the Holy Bible, they can say that all sufferings
are temporal for those who have sincerely repented and believed the gospel of
Jesus Christ, and are now awaiting on the new heaven and a new earth where
there will be no sorrow and pain for God will wipe away all tears, and make all
things new.
And
God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for
the former things are passed away.
And
he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said
unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
Revelation 21:4-5(KJV)
With Blessing in Christ,
David & Gay
