Subject: God allowing things in our lives |
Bible Note: God can get the glory for sickness and death, indeed when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, God was glorified, he wasn't glorified in the death, but in the resurrection. Sometimes, more often then should be actually, people do not turn to God untill something tragic in their life happens. There is still no way to say that God wasn't there all along wanting to make sure that tragedy never struck them. Do you think God created Adam in the garden with the intent on killing him with cancer? And remember, just because someone dies of a sickness, doesn't mean it wasn't God's will to see them fully healed. If we use that arguement, then wouldn't we have to say that because someone died unsaved and went to hell, that it wasn't God's will to see them saved. Lets stop blaming God for the problems in this world, and put the blame where it goes, on the devil and us. God is soverign, he has already given us his Word, lets just read it, believe it, and live by it. Why does he have to do more than give us his Word to teach us, is the Word not good enough? |
