Q: Why must there be suffering?
A: Love needs sacrifice.Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus".A price has to be paid for sin. So Jesus paid the price. He died to save ALL mankind. And he took ALL the suffering of the world upon Himself. So today salvation is open to ALL. We who have been hurt, need Jesus as much as those who have hurt us. Since God is fair to give salvation to all, isnt it fair that suffering happens to all?

Q: I still think it's unfair that good people suffer.
A: Unjust suffering is the only type of suffering that can be considered suffering. Because if I did something wrong, and I suffered for it, memang I deserved it la! That's not called suffering. That's called retribution. But suffering that's undeserved is exactly what happened to Christ. He's God, trying to save men, but those very people he's trying to save, are spitting on his efforts and abusing him! The hallmark of a Christian is to be like Christ. So when we suffer unjustly, we're actually becoming more like Christ.James 1: 2-4"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."Be encouraged! When you suffer unjustly, remind yourself that God is allowing your faith to grow. And when the testing is over and you have passed through the fire, you are refined. You become stronger like gold that has been tested. Then, He will reward you beyond your imagination!
