Why Does God Allow Suffering? 7 Surprising Reasons To Know

[@umihkhabib]

Greetings from Kenya, Mr. Joshua. May abba Father bless you and hear your prayers. Your dedication and zeal to spread the word of God is amazing and inspiring. Don't give up, it shall be well. This topic of God allowing suffering among believers is contentious and has caused many to develop bitterness. You have however dissected rightfully using scriptures and I am inspired to share these points with others. All glory to our Father in heaven in the mighty name of Yahshua.

Thank you. I hope Yahweh will bless us with more understanding.

Rom 8:28 answers it all.

That's right!

1 Cor 10:13, clearly states that no one will suffer or be tempted more than one could bear. So if one gives in to temptation or even self-exit due to suffering then it is personal sin to be blamed because 1 Cor 10:13 does not lie as all temptations and sufferings are bearable.

That's where the sacrifice of Jesus comes into play. As long as we are humans, we are bound to sin.

Those who gave up the faith due to suffering were never saved because God will not allow trials or temptations beyond what we can bear. It is possible we may backslide due to suffering or trials, but we will never fall away (ie give up the faith).

Salvation is a process. You can lose your salvation when you completely turn away from God. If you're referring to once saved always saved doctrine, that's actually a satanic deception.

@@becomingchristians Once saved always saved is biblical truth. Many verses support this and John 10:28-29 is one of it. A good shepherd never loses his sheep. Some may go astray (ie backslide) but not lost (ie fallen away). It also does not makes sense if one is saved and could lose salvation then how many times must one be reborn?
