Weekly Words of Instruction

5/30/2004

 
One of the things people often say is, "Why did God let this happen?"; or "How could that bad thing happen to such a good person?" People must remember that God has already told man that life on earth will not be as life in Heaven (Job 14:1, Matthew 6:19–21). God also said that life on earth would present both good and evil, along with justice and injustice. At times the guilty will get what is coming to them and at other times the innocent will fall prey to the wicked (Ecclesiastes 3:1–8, Matt. 13:24–30, Eccl. 3:16–17, Eccl. 4:1–3, Eccl. 5:8, Psalm 37). That's why man shouldn't expect eternal happiness on earth because it's just not going to happen. Man should repent of his sins and serve God, so that when he dies, he will be with God in the next life, where all sorrow will be gone and no one will be asking the question; "How could such a bad thing happen to such a good person?" etc. etc.

Hope to hear from you or see you at the services.
