QUESTION OF THE WEEK 9.2 - "If there is a God why is there so much suffering in the world?

What an interesting topic on the discuss on, IF THERE IS GOD WHY IS THERE SO MUCH SUFFERING IN THE WORLD?"

The bible is a book written by the almighty God and given to mankind as a compass which takes us to the fundamental creation of man on earth.

God created man in his own image and placed mankind in the garden of eden. The garden was created and beautified for man to stay comfortably, God told man to increase and multiply(adam and eve). Things went on well until, the devil inform of the serpent came and deceive eve, in absence of adam. Eve ate from these tree and fed her husband thesame fruit, after they had taken the fruit, their eyes were opened immediately and they discovered they were naked and went ahead to cover themselves with leafs from the tree of fig(realizing they were naked).
One of the reason why there are so much sufferings in the world is as a result of "DISOBEDIENCE" despite the fact that God sent his only begotten son to come save us all and wash away the sins of the world that adam and eve had caused

Apparently, the main reason why there are so much sufferings in the world is that we human on earth are going against the ten commandment God has given to us and disobedient to the commandment of God provokes God's anger towards us knowing too well that he his the alpha and omega.

Obedience to God almighty will reduce the suffering and also bring life after death. Many in the world today learn their lessons only by making mistakes and suffering the bad results. Please let us always note that God has never planned for these things to happen to man in anyway, all he just wants is for all his creatures to always obey him and always have faith in him. And also God does not forget or makes us to regret the respect and love we showed him (hebrews
6 vs 10).

These are the kinds of things adam and eve enjoyed in the gaden of eden, God just gave them one commandment not to eat from the tree (genensis 2 vs 9 to 17). God was not too strict or unfair, we human havent been able to keep up with the law/commandments and be obedient to his commandments that he has laid down for us, meanwhile we have always been going against them since adam and eve were sent away from the garden of eden as a result of their disobedience to God.

God is wise in the way he treats us, they are so many laws implemented by man (leaders) to man which so many has succeeded in abiding. (Romans 12 vs 9) in the sermon in the mount, jesus helped us to understand why people do things that are against God and in, ( matthew 5 vs 27 to 28).

In the new world, as the king in God's kingdom, he will help us view right and wrongs as he does. (hebrews 1 to 9) he will also make us perfect in our minds and body. Imagine what it will be like when we are not to be tempted to do bad things and do not get to suffer because of our imperfect, then at last all creatures will enjoy the glorious freedom, good health, suffering free, which God has promised.

When everything new our freedom will be limited in what way?

we will always need to be motivated by our love for God and for others.
when we are guided by love, we are imitating christ, even though christ has complete freedom he chooses to let love guide everything he does including the way he treats us (1 john 4 vs 7 to 8)

In a nutshell
We can only avoid sufferings on earth only if we abide with God's commandments.
OBEDIENT is the remedy to the suffering of the world.
