Why Bad Things Happen To Good People And What Can Be Done about It

Life is full of challenges. Some of the challenges we face in life are so painful that we invariably ask, "Why is this happening to me?" The Bible promises a day in the future when there will be no more pain and no more sorrow when the Lord establishes a new heaven and a new earth (Revelation 21:1-4). But until then, bad things will continue to happen. But we are not helpless. The Bible provides answers to suffering that will help us deal with the painful challenges we face. By following Biblical prescriptions we can grow spiritually and emotionally. Life's difficulties will no longer be viewed as evils, but as challenges to be overcome with victory; life's adversities can be made to work for us rather than against us.
