Bible Question: friends,
In the Bible there are a lot Of God's promises in every aspect and areas of life. However in so many times people just seem to make their way outs and make justification of themselves by counteracting through the Bible as well. In so many time I've heard of people especially the victims of brokenness, tragedies , problems, and sufferings, they would say if God is really a God of Love why doesn't He stop the sufferings of this world, why does He allow things to happen even to godly people? They would qoute Psalms 121 the shining Hero that neither slumbers and who will not allow any harm to His people? where is the truth in this text when life's crushing difficulties comes? there are still many passages that tells How Loving our God is. My question is How can we justify The God of Love in this world full of evil? How can we defend Him that amidst the sufferrings in Life He will remain to be our Loving God?
I would appreciate very much if you can help me with this query. I often meet people who would strike me to such question and I feel lack of answers at times.
Thank you and God Bless!

Bible Answer: God is love, this is the reason why He created us to share with His glory.

There are people that really dont want to believed that Gos is love. For those who dont want to believed they have a lot of reason for themselves not to believed.

God created us in His own image! God is a complete God even without us! but He created us to share with his glory.

When God created us, He created us with power over dominion all over the eart, the sickness and other sufferrings is not included when He created us.

Ge 1:26
¶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after
our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish
of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the
cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping
thing that creepeth upon the earth.

When God created heavens and earth and us, the sufferings is not there only good things.
1:31
¶ And God saw every thing that he had made, and,
behold, it was very good. And the evening and the
morning were the sixth day.

But when man commit disobedience the sufferrings comes
Ge 2:17
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou
shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof
thou shalt surely die.

Ge 3:16
¶ Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy
sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring
forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband,
and he shall rule over thee.

Ge 3:19
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou
return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for
dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

This world is full of sufferings because the god of this world is evil
2Co 4:4
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of
them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious
gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine
unto them.

We have to go out of this world:
1Co 5:10
Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or
with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for
then must ye needs go out of the world.

God love us more than the angels, if we realize when satan fall God never sent His son to save them, but when man fall He sent His begotten Son to save us.

The happinnes that promises to us christian is not in this world, but it will happen just wait:

Re 21:4
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.

God bless,

Johnny
