How Do We Reconcile Our Sin and Suffering

June 27, 2011

“As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive” (Genesis 50:20).

God is in control over every molecule that moves in the universe, right? If one molecule, or one human decision, was outside of God’s control or influence, then He wouldn’t be the all-powerful, all-knowing, sovereign God the Bible says He is.

Since God is in control of everything, and since God’s nature is good and holy, how do we explain God causing or allowing the terrible suffering that we can experience in our lives or the sinful choices that we are free to make? Where is God in all of that?

How the sovereignty of God intertwines with the sin and suffering of man is one of the most difficult dilemmas. The biblical accounts of Job and Joseph offer profound insights into this question and help us to trust God even in the midst of our world of hurt. Join us this week on The Christian Worldview as we discuss this important topic.
