Bible Question: Can anyone tell me why really bad things are allowed to happen to people who are following Christ. I was kicked out of my house and my parents have serious emotional problems and my step mom tried to commit sucide, why does all this happen? |
Bible Answer: John 16:33, These things I have spoken to you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Job 1:1, There was one man in the land of Uz, whose name of Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God and eschewed evil. Job was a man who feared God. He was righteous and God blessed him with great wealth and children. God attested to Job's right standing before Him (Job 1:8) but satan, the adversary had a different view of Job (Job 1:9-11). His opinion was that Job maintained a right standing because God favoured him with riches and wonderful children. Satan sought God's permission to tamper with Job's riches, children and even his body thus bringing great grieve, sorrow and pain on Job. But God allowed it in order to test the integrity of Job's heart and prove Satan wrong. Job went through the tribulation and his riches, family and health was restored in folds )Job 42:10). Job was a kind of old testament christian. So, this might be the case of any christian who is doing well before God. God would want to proof such christian and later add greater blessings and anointing upon him. So, you can see that satan is the source of evil for God does not test with evil and cannot be tested with evil (James 1:13). However, God has reassured believers that although they will face tribulations but in our tribulations and troubles we should remain cheerful for He, being an overcomer, has overcome and we, being his followers, will surely overcome. The tests and trials that we face is to promote us. For through testings and trials our face is strengthened and we ourselves move towards being perfected. All we need at times like this is patience in continual holding to God. Please endure in prayer and you will surely overcome. The grace of God be with you. (Amen). |
