That christians experience the bad side of life is normal. Although he is not of the world, he is still in the world physically. The world is characterised by evil whose master/ruler is the devil. God allows the evil to come acroos the way of christians in order to test them and to mature them. The response of the christian to this bad situation will be determined by his level of faith and maturity. The christian should understand that he will face adverse situations and that the saviour is with him or her in it and since He; that is Jesus Christ overcame, he or she will definitely overcome. The story of Job readily come to mind. Job was righteous to the extent that God was boasting about him and this caused his travails. In the process, he lost everything and became a loner in serious suffering. But in the end the bible recalls that God blessed the later days of Job than his beginning. This means that Job came out victorious. The christian should take a cue from Job. |
