If God is Good, Then Why Do We Suffer?

They made fig leaves for themselves, but instead God knitted for them wool and real clothes made out of animal skin to help and assist them. And God didn't have to do that because humanity sinned against God. And I think a lot of people don't understand suffering and why people suffer because they're like, oh, well, why do good people suffer?

If God is Good, Then Why Do We Suffer?

I think my question is, well, what do you consider good? What is good? And what makes you the judge to determine what is good and what's morally good or bad? And do you believe that there's people who don't fall short? Because if you look at every single person in everywhere, on every earth and on every planet, crevice and corner of the earth. Everybody is flawed.

If God is Good, Then Why Do We Suffer?

Everybody has some sort of problem. And we are not the judge of what is good and what is not. And I think we have to release that judgment onto God and not become it for ourselves. Because here's the thing. A lot of people will say, okay, so we're going to take two different types of people just for you to understand like the aspects of good.

who has gone to jail a multitude of times, who has done very harsh things to other people for himself. He's an abuser. He's an alcoholic. He's a drug addict. He is a mocker. He's prideful. He's adulterous. So we have these two people, right? We have this little boy who's been abused and beaten, and then we have this man who's an abuser. Who deserves to go to heaven?

Is it this little boy or this man? And then who deserves to go to hell? You being the judge, who do you think is more good based off of what I told you? And so something I'm going to share just to give you perspective is What if I told you that this man, who was an abuser, an alcoholic, an adulterer, whatever it may be, had the same past as this little boy? He was abused by his parents.

He was spat on, mocked, abused, bullied at school, kicked to the ground. What if I told you that this man, who you would think as evil and atrocious and debaucherous and all these things, what if I tell you that he was actually produced from an environment just like this little boy?

It gives you a bigger perspective of as to why this person is so wicked in the first place because sin was committed onto him. And so we can't rely on our own understanding of what good is because we would see the little boy version of this man and show sympathy. But then as he's a man and making all this deliberate decisions, we would condemn him to hell. But that job is only up to God.

It is only up to God. And I'm not saying that this person deserves heaven or hell. I'm just giving you perspective for you to understand and discern on your own. Because truly you do not know, no matter how good you think someone is, you truly do not know their story. And the only person who is able to accumulate what good is, is God. And honestly, like we can never even be perfectly good.

God accepts us because of our repentance and because of what Jesus did on the cross. And so we can't be the deciders of what good is because we don't carry out perfect good. I would say if we would be perfect human beings who perfectly carried out what it meant to be good, then maybe... But the truth of the matter is, is that we all mess up and all fall short.
