We can stand affliction better than we can prosperity, for in prosperity we forget God.
Dwight L. Moody
One of the most asked questions from non-believers as well as some believers:
Why do bad things happen to good people?
First of all no one is good.
Romans 3:10-12 – 10As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; 11there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. 12All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”
Luke 18:19 – 19 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone.
Not only is no one good, but just as DL Moody quoted, people tend to seek God when they have been brought to their knees.
People are confused. God didn’t create us to be individuals with no need for Him. He created us for relationship, to worship Him, and to love Him. ALL THE TIME!
