Jehovah is most powerful and all sufficient. Without doubt he is God above all gods. Why will God 4 who he is allow us to go true pain rather than stopping all pains that moment when we gave our life to our saviour. Why do we ve to go thru all this before giving our desires? As christians, are we all going to pass thru dis b4 the promises? I REALLY WANT TO KNOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact is, God has a purpose for every pain, sorrow, and trouble we encounter. In Bible times, precious metals were separated from their ore, or "purified", by being cast into a very hot fire. This made them more beautiful and valuable. That is happening to us. God is molding and purifying us through everything He allows into our lives. This is actually a great gift: it gives us the opportunity to come to know His mercy and goodness better for ourselves, to know deeper fellowship with Christ because He too suffered, to show our love for Him by trusting and obeying, and to store up treasures in heaven to one day through at His feet in worship!

But we simply resist change unless we experience pain. When all is going well......which of course we all desire!.......we tend toward comfort. But when pain comes along we begin to seek and change. Oh my. How much we need grace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
