On God’s Judgment and Why there Is Suffering

God is good. First let’s get that out of the way. And if you want good, or to be good, you need God. If you choose to sin, then you are ruled by Satan. If you choose to do good, you are ruled by God, who is ever faithful to deliver you.

So, in this world, there is a struggle between light and darkness. And if you choose darkness, darkness will rule over you. So, you give the demonic forces the right to have influence over your life. If you choose light, you choose God’s providence over your life, and the ordering of things in your favor.

What is true, is because of the evil in this world—and this is a common story in the Bible, like Cain and Abel, where Evil triumphs for a bit, and causes good to suffer—there is a tendency for good people to be hurt, and justice to fail.

Which, because of this, we need to hold onto our right to what’s good, by forsaking this world and its things. And by suffering a little while—due to the world’s evil—and coming out purified, and wise, and with knowledge of sin—as that’s what the Tree of Knowledge gave us—that it causes suffering, and therefore a need for judgment.

So, by choosing sin—by choosing to eat the fruit—you therefore are required to be judged for your sin. And it’s not God’s desire that anyone should perish, so He sent His son Jesus Christ into the world, to die on a Roman Cross, and be buried, and raised on the third day. And this is what saves you. So, no matter what sin you’ve committed, you will be saved if you call upon Jesus Christ. And know that He is LORD. As with confession you are saved, and with knowledge of His resurrection you are made righteous.

So, life is about choosing the light, and forsaking the darkness. Though, we can never be fully rid of our sin. We all have some sin in us, and if we say we don’t, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins, God who is Just, is willing to pardon us.

So, it’s all about choice. It’s not God’s desire to damn anyone, but if you choose darkness, you allow darkness to rule over you. And since the bulk of the world chooses darkness, that’s why the righteous suffer.
