Why is there Pain, Suffering & Injustice? If God is great and good…

We must take into account… Satan’s role (Genesis 3:16; Job 2:7; Luke 13:16) Man’s role (Micah 2:1-2)

God has a purpose for allowing pain Ecclesiastes 3:16-17 Pain teaches humility, trust and obedience (2 Cor. 12:7; 1 Peter 4:19; Hebrews 5:8) Pain expresses love (1 Cor. 13:4; Romans 5:8; Luke 24:46-47; Proverbs 13:24; Hebrews 12:6)

God has a purpose for allowing pain Ecclesiastes 3:16-17 Pain strengthens us (Job 33:19, 29-30; 1 Peter 5:10) God wants children like His Son (Hebrews 2:10-11; 1 Peter 2:19-21; 3:17-18; 4:1)

There will be an end to pain for those who are Christ-like! “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” -- Romans 8:18 “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” -- Revelation 21:4
