Hello brothers, sisters, saints, and defenders of the faith. I was asked once, if God is real, then why is it so much evil in the world? Why is it so much pain in the world if God is real? Well, that is one of the situations or one of the problems that have plagued theologians, believers and non-believers throughout history. Now, there are some reasons though, there are some flawed thinking in that as well. This is what I mean about the flawed thinking. People think that just because God hasn't yet eradicated evil in the world, then it will not be eradicated and justice will not prevail. But justice will prevail and God will eradicate evil in his time. It also doesn't mean that those individuals who have been treated wrong or have been hurt or feel with pain or whatever the case may be, is somehow losing out. That is not the case. This is just one example of why that's not the case if we believe and if we trust the Bible. Now, if we trust the Bible, the Bible says that to be with Christ we'll be in a far better place. If we are with Christ, scripture says that's far better, not just better, but far better than being here on this earth. And I can really attest to that. I believe, and I attest to it because I haven't been with Christ yet physically, but it makes sense because this world is crazy, especially around now with what's going on in the world. But if that is true, if to be with Christ is a far better place, you can do me no harm. You can do the worst to me and I'll still be better off. You can kill me with any kind of death you want to bring on me. When I die, I will be with Christ, which is a far better thing is to be with him. So even when we think about things like, oh man, they killed that person and that is evil. They killed that baby and that is evil. They did all of these evil things to a person or whatever it may be. That is so evil and that person or that individual lost out. No they didn't. Now I know this is hard for some people to believe, but remember I said, I always say if we interpret the Bible correctly and if we believe the Bible, when the time comes for us to die, leave this physical vessel. We will go to be with Christ, scripture says, immediately. We close our eyes and the moment we wake our eyes open, we're in heaven with Christ and not only are we in heaven with Christ, that's a far better place. So we think and we say when evil comes that it's bad. Yes, evil is bad. God hates evil, but for the Christian person, for the individual who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, whatever you bring our way, yes, painful, I don't want to die. I don't want nobody to shoot me. I don't want anybody to stab me or rob me and all of that kind of stuff. No, I don't want, but if that does happen, I don't lose out. The Bible says, I'm going to a far better place. So that's just one example. I really don't have the answer to why bad things happen to good people and even why good things happen to bad people, but I do know that God's justice will one day prevail. So you can trust God. You can trust the Bible. So brothers and sisters, saints and defenders of the faith, stay strong, believe in God's word and believe in Him. Until we meet again, I'll see ya.
