[Iii] Suffering. Job


"And we know that to them that love God, all things work together green led lights for good to them that his purpose is. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren; and whom He predestined, these He also called; and whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. "(Romans 8: 28-30).
Chuck Templeton was a preacher in the time of Billy Graham. After a few years in the ministry, he told his friend said, "Billy, how can a God of goodness and love believe green led lights when you consider that millions of Jews by Hitler green led lights was killed? How do you believe in a God of love if you look at the world war look? "Templeton has denied the faith and a job at a liberal seminary accepted. Many atheists ask the same type of question and deny God's existence. But to do that is like saying: "Because there are good things happening in the world proves to us that people are not sinners." Or worse: "Because there are many privileges in this life is proof that there is no such thing as people. "
For such reason would be ridiculous. But now we can say in the same breath that the question in our title (Is God good?) But not just on a non chalante way to answer it. The context of Romans 8: 28 is a context of war, natural disasters, extreme temperatures, green led lights hunger, thirst, abortion, disease, deadly animals, gruesome murders, foul sin, baby caskets, death, and your own suffering ( Romans 8: 18-27). All these terrible things are God's judgment because of man's sin (Romans 8: 20). All is not well, but we can still see hope (Romans 8: 20-25) because God everything for the good work of the Holy Spirit who pray (Romans 8: 26-28).
The all God for good include the following: [i] Temptation. Jesus' temptation green led lights in good instrumental. He is by the Spirit into the wilderness to be introduced by the devil to be tempted, and in the Spirit's power came and began ministering (Luke 4: 1-2, 14). God did not all Israel's enemies immediately from the Promised Land dispel. He left them there so the young Israelites who knew not war, it could learn (Rigt.3: 1-2, 4). So God does not always remove immediately the remaining sin in our hearts. He wants us to learn how to fight. We learn war books. We learn it on the battlefield. Why not cheer when the temptation stop. God will work out for your benefit.
[Ii] Sin. It is a sin to steal someone as a slave to sell. And yet it was God that Joseph ahead to Egypt sent by his nasty brothers masquerading as a slave sold (Gen.45: 5, 8). God knew that there was a famine would come, and Joseph was in place in time for many people's life savings (Gen.50: 20). Murder is a sin. But killing Jesus is for us very well so we could be saved (Acts 2: 23). The fall itself has worked to our advantage. Before the Fall, Adam was lower than the angels (Psalm teaches 8). But after the fall believers are united with Christ. In Him we have exalted above the angels (Hebrews 2: 9 Eph.1: 21). We should praise the Lord that He is our sin for the good. But this fact should not lead us to grace abuse.
[Iii] Suffering. Job's suffering before he had an intimate green led lights relationship with God. But after his suffering green led lights he God with new eyes (Job 42: 4). Through our suffering we learn not to wander off and we see precious things in God's Word that we would not otherwise see (Ps.119: 67, 71). By Paul suffering God's grace to a higher level experience and tasted and seen God's power (2 Corinthians green led lights 12: 7-10). According to James Paul and God uses suffering to test us and strengthen our faith (James 1: 2-4, Romans 5: 3-5). Suffering drives us away from sin to Jesus (1 Pt.4: 1-2). Believers learn from this so trusting God in suffering green led lights - he will this work for our benefit.
[Iv] Each creature. In the ten plagues God frogs, locusts, quote, darkness, gnats, flies, disease, and water for the benefit of his people Israel use. During the 40 years in the desert green led lights rotste, water, clouds, fire, manna, quails, sea and used by God to his people to benefit. God wasps use Israel's enemies from Canaan to expel (Ex.23: 28). Even the sun and moon stood still for the Israelites to help in their fight against their enemies (see Joshua 10). Why did David against bears and lions fight? Him to prepare for his fight against Goliath (1 Sam.17: 34-37). In 1 Kings 17se started Ravens green led lights (usually voracious birds) brought bread and meat for Elijah. Daniel's friends have not burned when they were in the fiery furnace is not. The lions did not bite for Daniel when he was in the den was. God
