Greetings dear members who make life in this great platform of @EcoTrain, in this opportunity I want to share with you my personal opinion regarding this week's question that says "IF THERE IS A GOD, WHY IS THERE SO MUCH SUFFERING IN THE WORLD?". I will now narrate my explanation.
We live in a world where evidently not everything is based on successes and joys in life, in several opportunities we have experienced some problem, obstacle or different reasons or reasons causing suffering. We have witnessed many injustices and in the same way, we have observed people who are suffering a strong pain in their heart. Now, whether they or we ourselves are believers of God, therein lies the suffering that is endured in the world.
I have the certainty that I serve a living God and therefore he covers all my needs in life, everyone is free to believe and worship whoever they want, but when we decide to live under the commandments of God he will keep us and help us to overcome any obstacle in life and will cover us and deliver us from these sufferings that usually suffer people who are not in his way.
First of all we must keep in mind that God created the world and loves us so much that he made man in his image and likeness and let him live in the garden of Eden, where he had everything to supply his needs, only he had to comply with a condition not to eat from the tree of life, because with this he would be a sinner and as long as Adam complied with this condition everything was good and he did not have to suffer anything, However, as it is public knowledge the man because of the woman sinned and is because of the serpent and so the chain becomes longer and longer, what really matters here is that he did not comply with the designs of God and therefore God indicated that he had to work and with great effort to earn their daily bread and the woman said she would suffer the pains of childbirth to bring into the world a new life.
In this sense while man was under the will of God he did not know of this word (suffering), however at the moment that man ignored his word with it brought as a consequence that he became independent of our beloved father and therefore his heart was full of sin and with it evil and injustices began to flourish.
As we approach God in repentance of heart, all these sins will be forgiven and therefore that suffering will leave our lives or family environment because we will be governed under his laws and commandments, doing good to others and helping all who need it, all these characteristics and many more are a symbol of a humble heart and servant of God, which is rewarded greatly with superabundant blessings (food, clothing, footwear, health and wealth).
Remember that we are thinking and rational beings who have freedom of religion, therefore it is our personal decision whether or not we want to be under the service of God and not suffer with that suffering that disturbs us and does not let us live in peace. The decision is in the hands of each person when he decides to give his life to God, because if everyone in the world were faithful to him I know that people would be totally different for the better and there would no longer be suffering in life. So answering in short lines the question
IF THERE IS A GOD, WHY IS THERE SO MUCH SUFFERING IN THE WORLD? Pain and suffering exist for two main reasons:
1. we are descendants of Adam and Eve and we are born with sin as a product of their disobedience.
2. God exists, it is just that not all of us are under his service and those who do not serve him suffer the consequences of their bad habits and one of them is suffering.
Blessed day and excellent question.
This is the scripture in black and white. We are suffering because of the sins of our ancestors, Adam and Eve. However, if we receive Jesus as our Lord and Personal Savior, and confess our sins to him, he will forgive us, and make us the descendants of David. From here, we will have salvation and access to Eternal life.... A life where there will be no suffering.
