The ability to understand who we were, and are, what we have been
provided with, and what lies wait for us who are called into this glorious
inheritance only can happen when the eyes of the understanding are
enlightened.
We often do not have answers to an untimely demise, heartbreaks and betrayals, divorces, and life-threatening diseases that come upon
us out of nowhere. A Christian’s attitude to worldly pains has a Biblical tint as we see life and its troubles through the spiritual glasses, and our view is in stark contrast to that of others.
The Christians today who suffer unjustly for the sake of their faith must recognize it as an integral part of their calling as the children of God. So they can rejoice in it.
We should take our eyes off our present suffering and fix them upon
the eternal glory we will receive when we meet Him face to face. When we
believe that there is a purpose in pain and it brings more glory to us, we can endure every hardship with courage and confidence.”
Instead of giving simplistic explanations of unexplainable things
to those who are going through pain, loss, and suffering, let us offer
salvation by faith and hope in a loving God.
The historic event fulfilled through Christ that encapsulates the totality
of pain and suffering is unparalleled with any other religious, philosophical, or scientific worldview. It helps a believer to make sense of the suffering they face..
According to the Garden of Eden
story, Satan was the first cause of
his sin, which he passed down to
humans.
