Why?
Why so much pain, suffering, hate, and death?
The question why seems to echo loudest when we’re hurting—when life doesn’t make sense.
Why? I don’t known for sure, but I believe this: it’s not because of God.
Scripture says God is not the ruler of this world. He is the Creator, the Sustainer, and the Hope of what’s to come. But for now, evil has power here.
“The whole world lies under the power of the evil one.” – 1 John 5:19
“The ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me.” – John 14:30
When bad things happen, we often doubt God or even blame Him. But when bad things happen—God comes looking for us.
From the beginning, when sin entered the world, God came searching. Later, He sent Jesus to show us another way. Jesus healed, gave hope, and even raised the dead—proving that death won’t have the final word.
Evil exists, but God is our hope.
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted.” – Psalm 34:18
“Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28
I can’t explain every “why,” but I believe with all my heart that God works all things together for good.
God is good. God is faithful.
And Jesus has already defeated sin, sickness, and the grave.
When your “why” doesn’t make sense—seek Him. He will guide to peace.
