NASB | 1 Peter 2:24 and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 2:24 He personally carried our sins in His body on the cross [willingly offering Himself on it, as on an altar of sacrifice], so that we might die to sin [becoming immune from the penalty and power of sin] and live for righteousness; for by His wounds you [who believe] have been healed. |
Subject: How can God let us go through pain? |
Bible Note: Greetings Jdthcstl! Thanks for the response! But, how then would you explain the story of Job! God was definitely responsible for what happened to Job in that He allowed Satan to afflict Job. God could have stopped it, but He choose to allow it. In fact, Phil. 1:29 says that suffering is a gift of God. I agree about Rev. 21:4 that there will not be any suffering in the new Heaven and new Earth. However, in this life, God sometimes uses even suffering to accomplish His will. Though, you are correct that much of our suffering is brought about by others or our own foolish choices.
