1 JOHN 4:16


Have you ever heard or perhaps even uttered those words if God really loves  then  why' ' ''s happen to me?
Please keep in mind sin entered into the world. and mankind has been free will. Consider this question,
"If my mother loves me, then why did this bad thing happen to me? If you are an adult not living under your mother's control, you will instantly see the folly of such a question. We don't believe our mother controls everything happening in the world. We understand that other people are making decisions. To determine whether our mother loves us, or not, we mainly consider what she has done for us. We should do the same in evaluating God.  The Father has already demonstrates His loves for us by giving His only begotten son to pay the price for our sins, Jesus suffered  for us even though Jesus was not guilty of any sins, He died for us while we yet God's enemies that was love for us, granting us grace and mercy when justice demanded that we should die for our sins, but Jesus oh no!!! I will pay the price for them.  Another example of what the comments of questioning if God loves you would be, Would a soldier on the battlefield ever say "If my parents love me why am I being shot at?" No! The soldier realizes it is an enemy trying to kill him. So it is with us. The devil is the one who is shooting at us, trying to kill, steal, and destroy. Everything good we enjoy in life is because of God. The devil, and people motivated by the devil's ideas, have messed up a lot
of things. But God has never done us evil. God is not to blame! Some teach that God controls every decision made by every person. But anyone who stops to think about what they can do should realize it is not true. To illustrate, right now you could choose to rob someone, or even kill someone. You have the
freedom to do that. And if you did, it would not be God's fault, it would be your fault. Understanding this, you should be able to see that, just because some bad thing happens in your life, does not offer any
real evidence that God does not love you. Scripture does not teach that God controls every decision
people make. But it does teach that God will eventually make everything right. So don't make the mistake of judging prematurely.




 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him (1 John 4:16).
