- Suffering is the lot of mankind
- God created man and woman in the Garden of Eden and gave them everything they needed.
- Why is this?
- Satan is the initial case of suffering – he told Even the lie and she sinned, and then Adam sinned as well. Thus they were separated from God.
- Suffering is not God’s fault. God made it so suffering and death did not have to happen.
- What is the remedy?
- Spiritually?
- Romans 5:12
- Romans 1:4
- Acts 2:9-11
- Hebrews 7:25
- Acts 2:36
- Matthew 11:28
- God has adequately reversed the reality of spiritual death. He has not reversed the reality of physical death.
- Bodily?
- Mentally?
- Keep your mind active in the things of Christ.
- Philippians 4:8
- Hebrews 5:12
- II Timothy 2:2
- Emotionally?
- Time with the Scripture, time in prayer, and time with good companions.
- I Corinthians 15:33
- Spiritually?
