We live in a world full of cruelty and injustice. Many religions teach that the sufferings we ecperience are God's will.
What the Bible teaches: God never causes what is wicked. "Far be it from the true God to act wickedly, and the Almighty to act unjustly!" says Job 34:10. God has a loving purpose for humans. That is why Jesus taught us to pray: "Our Father in the heavens, let...your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth." (Matthew 6:9,10) God cares so deeply about us that he has gone to great lengths to make the fulfillment of his purpose a certainty. John 3:16.
Job 34:10- "Therefore listen to me, you men of understandingL Far be it from God to do wickedness, and from the Almighty to commit iniquity."
Matt 6:9,10- Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your Name. You kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive out debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliever us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
John 3:16- For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everylasting life.
Genesis 1:26-28- Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female he created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; full the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."
James 1:13- Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.
1Peter 5:6,7- Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in dire time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
