Does God Really Visit Us With Misfortunes Because Of The Sin We Committed? by evansjeff(m): 12:46pm On May 22, 2016 |
All sinners will go to hell, fine but my question is: when we face disappointments in life, misfortunes, sickness and so on, is God responsible for it as a way of punishing us for that particular sin we committed? Please bible backings will be much appreciated. |

Christians may face trials and suffer simply because we live in a world full of sin. But Jesus said, “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you]” (John 16:33 ). What a promise! Understanding the reason for our suffering and having the assurance of the final glory we'll share should make it a little easier to enjoy our lives...even during the times of sharing in suffering. And if we are [His] children, then we are [His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His inheritance with Him]; only we must share His suffering if we are to share His glory ( Romans 8:17 ). evansjeff, God is not punishing you |

evansjeff:Only born-again sinners are capable of ending up in the place of Eternal Damnation aka Hell. That is because Hell(Eternal Damnation) exists inside of the Kingdom of God. And it is only those who are born-again that are granted access into the Kingdom of God. 2. As for your second question, the answer is no. God's focus is on those who are of the blood of Jacob and not those who are not. His Law, the blessings and curses, apply only to those who are of the blood of Israel. if you are not of the blood of Israel, God is not focused on punishing you for what you may assume are your sins against Him. Rather, what happens to even you is what we have come to know as life -- Genesis 3 vs 16 - 24. |
