Why Do People
Suffer? In these days when the Gospel of Christ is being perverted by almost all preachers it seems hard for most people to understand why people suffer. We are being taught lies by preachers who tell us what we want to hear. The truth is that our spirits are not holy enough to please God. We were raised in homes where the fear of God was not taught to us. We have offended God in many ways and we didn´t even know we were doing it because we were in deep darkness. These offenses against God brought curses on us and our children, just like Adam was cursed. All offenses against God bring curses. As the Bible writers said, ´The wages of sin is death.´ If you can remember that God will curse you for every sin it can help you fear Him as you should. If you fear God enough you will obey Him. If you obey Him then He will give you His Holy Spirit. When you receive the Holy Spirit you will know and love Him, and not want to offend Him anymore. So when you see great disasters, wars, famines and plagues you can be sure that the first reason for it was human sin, but there may be other reasons. The starving little children of the world are hungry tonight. They were hungry last night, too. Why? The sin of their parents brought curses from God on their nation and family. Are these little children guilty of sin? Probably not, but the curse of their parents affects them just like Adam´s sin affects us today. This shows the importance of fearing God! If you do not fear Him and obey Him you will suffer for it. Don´t let anyone teach you otherwise. To sin against God is the greatest foolishness anyone can do. You cannot hide your sin from Him. He will see it and His angels will have already written it in a book to witness against you on Judgment Day. We are going to be judged by what we have done in our life. Do not fool yourself: our sins are not hidden from God. He knows our hearts, so He has even the sins of our hearts on His mind. God grants life to the repentant sinner, but there is still punishment: If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity. (Job 10:14) There remains the question of why Jesus suffered. Jesus did not sin against God and was filled with the Holy Spirit from His mother´s womb. Jesus should not have to suffer, but it pleased God to have Him suffer so that there would be both a curse on the Jews who had Him killed and a blessing from God on Jesus for being faithful unto death. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. (Isaiah 53:10-12) When Jesus ¨shall bear their iniquities¨ it does not mean He removed their sins and made them His own, it means He patiently endures the wickedness of His people while bringing them to perfection. Jesus is glorified by God now and seated at the right hand of God in heaven. He received all of this glory because of His willingness to die rather than deny God. He is now the High Priest of God in the Holy of Holies where He can make ¨intercession for the transgressors¨. At the same time, Jesus Christ´s death brought a curse on those people who killed Him, the Jews: Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap. Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake. Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents. For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness. Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous. (Psalms 69:22-28) Likewise, the apostles who were killed later died both to bring curses on the people who killed them and to earn glory for eternal life in heaven. The saints of God alive in this earth today suffer frequently. Sometimes for their sin: to make them clean. Sometimes to both curse those who harm them and to earn glory for eternal life in heaven. To share in the glory of Jesus Christ is worth suffering for. We are to believe the words of Jesus who said: Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. (Matthew 5:10-12) We should be glad when we suffer for our sins, because those who God punishes for sin quickly are those He loves the most. God will not allow His beloved children to slide into deep sin and bring curses on themselves without correcting them quickly. Those who God does not have great love for He allows to sink deep into sin and He does not correct them. He allows them to bring very great condemnation on themselves. Why does God not love them? God knows our past and our future, so He can pick the people He knows will serve Him. God can also harden hearts to make people sin against Him. This also comes from some curse on us or defect within us that God finds deeply offensive. This is the greatest curse of God: for Him to NOT correct us through suffering. Those you see who sin every day and seem to never suffer at all are those who God has reserved for the greatest condemnation on Judgment Day, and they are blind to the approaching danger. Do not envy the sinful people who prosper in the world, because their end will be very painful. |
