Why Does a Good God Let Bad Things Happen?

in #christianity6 years ago

When we experience terrible tragedy, being angry with God is quite common. People frequently ask, "If God is good, all-powerful, and full of love for us, why didn't He stop the thing that caused the pain?"

This is where Satan seeks to build a wall between God and the hurting person. He seizes the opportunity to say, "God isn't good, and He can't be trusted." However, we know according to the Word of God, the truth is not in Satan, he is a liar and the father of lies.

Read James 1:17. Everything good comes from God. God is good, and He cannot be anything else. Furthermore, He isn't one way one time and another way another time. He doesn't change. He is good, and that's the way He is.
It's obvious that God doesn't always stop tragedy, and we honestly don't always know why bad things happen. First Corinthians 13:12 says, "...Now I know in part (imperfectly)...." We have to remember that faith will always require us to accept unanswered questions, and we must come to the place where we're satisfied to know the One who knows and place our trust in Him.

Sort:  

God is the same, yesterday today and for ever. HE is an unchanging God, evil was made to know the good from the bad, if there was only good we would not understand good, it is only because bad exist we can know what good is....we can know what cold is only if hot exist...like wise we can know what happiness is only if sadness exist....so gods plans for evil is perfect so we can choose what is right and what is wrong....he made us with free will, we can choose our destiny...we can choose if want want an everlasting life with God or and everlasting destruction without God...God bless you all.
