Problem of Evil and Suffering Romans

Biblical examples of suffering… 1.People suffered because of self-inflicted misery. (Adam/Eve & King David) 2.People suffered by no fault of their own – life is simply hard. (Blind Man – John 9) 3.People suffered b/c of age or sickness. 4.People suffered b/c of the sins of others, which God never endorses. (Daniel & Apostle Paul)

Biblical examples of suffering… 5.God allowed suffering to further refine our character. (Job) 6.Suffering is used as a catalyst for people to be put in positions of purposeful influence. (Joseph)

Deuteronomy 4:29 “…when you seek the Lord your God, you will find Him, when you seek Him with all your heart and all your soul.”

Questions people want answered… 1.If God is all-powerful then why couldn’t He prevent evil from existing? 2.If He is all-loving why wouldn’t He prevent evil and suffering from existing? 3.If God created everything, didn’t He create evil too?

Questions people want answered… 4.Evil and suffering proves that there is no God, right? 5.Does God always determine evil and suffering?

God’s Resources God doesn’t always give reasons but, He gives resources. The primary resource is… HOPE

Romans So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

Romans For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

Romans and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. 18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

Romans For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope

Romans that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now.

Romans And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

God’s Hope: 1.Our security is found in our adoption. (v.14-17) 2.Suffering is real pain in a temporary world. (v. 18) 3.God addresses suffering not in an explanation, but through the incarnation. (v )

God’s Hope: 4.God’s hope doesn’t come in the form of a reason, but as a resource. (v. 23)
