Biker Preacher’s Corner Hello brothers and sisters!! I’m going to correct some misunderstandings about the character of God and then try to end on a high note of encouragement. So many have said “If God were such a good god, why is there so much pain, death and suffering in the world?” Why is COVID a thing? Others have had a bad run-in with the religious types that judge everything that doesn’t look like them. Driving the very people that Jesus died and rose again to save, away! Listen, questioning the character of God is all part of the enemy’s (Satan) plan. Which has always been his M.O. right from the very beginning. In Genesis 3:1 the devil (in the form of a snake) said to Eve “Did God really say...?” Ya see, his motive was for Adam and Eve to question God’s character, fairness and honesty. When this happened, they sinned, separating themselves and all of humanity from the loving relationship that He created for us all to have. The sad thing is we still fall for the enemy’s lies and manipulation today. “If God were such a good God…” or “See, all those Christians are all the same… judgmental and hypocritical!” Listen, the bible says in 1 John 4:8 “The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.” So, for those who call themselves Christian, yet use the bible as a hammer… KNOCK IT OFF! The Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 2:24 “…The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.” Listen, when Christians act like the judge they put themselves in the place of God and destroy the very people He has come to save. You might be asking yourself; if God is love then why is there still pain and suffering in the world? The answer to that question is so simple… it’s because the enemy (who has come to kill, steal and destroy John 10:10) is at work in the world and because of sin, wreaks havoc in people’s lives, families, communities, nations and world. Romans 6:23 says “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” So, it is sin in the world that brings about death (pain, suffering and death) NOT GOD! The truth is God is Good!!! The Bible says in Psalm 100:5 “For Yahweh (The Lord) is good, and His love is eternal; His faithfulness endures through all generations.” Listen, we will always have suffering in the world but you don’t have to suffer for all eternity. Jesus said in John 3:17 “For God did not send His Son into the world that He might condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.” So, to boil it all down… The devil is bad and brings pain and suffering because of sin. God is good, He lovingly and mercifully sent His son (Jesus) to pay for your sin and be saved by Him. Will you accept God’s love for you today?
