Why do bad things happen to good people? Same reason bad things happen to bad people. Good things happen to both as well. So let's start again. Why do things happen?
There are 2 lives, the first is temporary and lasts about 75-80 years. The second lasts forever. Although I believe God cares about us in this life and protects us all to some degree, His main focus is on your next life. Wouldn't that make sense? So we experience some bad stuff in this life, who cares really, life is but a vapor here for a little while, then "poof" it vanishes. But eternity is a long damn time. I'd rather focus my thoughts on forever.
If you are a Christian things happen to bring you closer to God.
If you are a skeptic things happen to bring you to God.
It's all for you.

This is a question I often grapple with, especially since my Christian walk has been challenging at times. My faith is vigorous enough to enable me to carry on seeking after and serving God as best I can, as His grace enables me, and seek viable answers to these questions as well.
ReplyDeleteFeeno, why do we have two lives? Why not just one? Why isn't this one the one that matters?

ReplyDeleteIt does fam, but don't you think the one that will last forever should be more impoortant?
Peace, feeno
