Not sure about that, although it seems like the closer we are to God the less bad things happen.

Godly Believers Will Not Have Bad Things Happen To Them?

 

I can not speak for others. But I have tried to live a life that is pleasing to God. Sure I have made mistakes and there are places in my life that I need to work on. But for the most part, I have tried to follow the teachings of Christ and have tried to live a Godly life. And I have had some very, very bad things happen to me. I do not know the reason for these things. I know they happen to Job as well. And for someone to say to someone that bad things will not happen to them if they are Godly; that is what all of Job's friends told him as well and God was displeased them for doing so. 

Job 42:7-9

Slap him again for me . . . :whistling:

 

On the OP: Have a look at Jesus' life, and that of the apostles for the answer to that. Have a look at the folks in the OT as well, especially the prophets. None of their lives were "easy" as some preach today.

 

Jesus said in the world we would have tribulation - but that He has overcome the world.

We are not qualified to determine good/bad.

From reading the Apostle Peter's letter, it appears as if he didn't get the memo about nothing bad happening to Christians.

 

1 Peter 2:20 But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.

 

John 15:20 Remember what I told you: 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.

Scripture declares that it rains on the just and unjust a like.  Also that man's days are few and full of trouble(s)
