Introduction
Introduction
Suffering and pain challenges our faith and trust in God.
Many hold to the assumption that since “God is love,” a “loving” God would not allow suffering and pain to those who are “good.”
And, since (from a human perspective) there are those who are good and who suffer, then there must not be a god!
Example: Allen (mother-in-law suffers from cancer)
The problem with this assumption, is that it ignores the reality of sin, and it promotes a defective view of God.
Suffering is a powerful test of our faith—and what foundation our faith stands.
In , we are given a clear theology of Christian suffering.
A theology of Christian suffering:
The Gift that Keeps on Giving
Suffering is a Direct Result of Original Sin.
