GOD GAVE US FREEDOM. Much of the world’s evil comes from human choices and not God’s cruelty. He created us to be free so we could choose love … but … freedom can be abused!
GOD USES PAIN AND SUFFERING TO SHAPE US. Pain is not good, but God can use it for good. Trials deepen our faith and draw us closer to Him [James 1:2-4].
GOD ENTERED OUR SUFFERING. At the cross, Jesus took on the worst evil, betrayal, injustice, torture, and death … on the worst day in history to bring us to the greatest good: salvation!!! God allows suffering, and He joins us in it!!!
Generally, human FEELINGS COME AND GO … RISE AND FALL. They are REAL, but they are often NOT RELIABLE. They are mostly CIRCUMSTANTIAL. FEELINGS...
This is a matter of life and death…eternity hangs in the balance…and Jesus has called all of us to go so that many others...
