LESSON 26
Why Bad Things Can Happen and Why People Suffering?
When bad-bad things happen, it not wrong to ask, why? We happy that the Bible get clear answers to this question!
1. How Satan made bad things to start happening?
Satan the Devil went against God. Satan wanted to rule others. So he made Adam and Eve to join him to go against God. He did it by lying to Eve. (Genesis 3:1-5) He made her to think that Jehovah was hiding something good from her. He was trying to say, human being can be more happy if they not obey God. Satan was the first person to lie when he fool Eve. That why the Bible call Satan “a liar and the father of the lie.”—John 8:44
2. Wetin Adam and Eve Chose to do?
Jehovah did plenty good things for Adam and Eve. He told them to eat from every tree in the garden of Eden. But only one tree he say they must not eat from. (Genesis 2:15-17) But they still decided to eat the fruit from that tree. Eve “began taking of its fruit and eating it.” Later, Adam “began eating it.” (Genesis 3:6) Two of them disobey God. Because Adam and Eve were perfect, it was easy for them to do the right thing. But they mean it to disobey God. When they sin, they show that they never wanted Jehovah to rule them. That decision made them to suffer bad way.—Genesis 3:16-19.
3. Wetin Adam and Eve decision na do to us?
When Adam and Eve sin, they were not perfect again. That the reason why we not perfect. This is what the Bible say about Adam: “Through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men.”—Romans 5:12.
We can suffer for different-different reasons. Sometimes we suffer because we make bad decisions. Sometimes we suffer because other people make bad decisions. Sometimes we suffer because we to the wrong place at the wrong time.—Read Ecclesiastes 9:11.
