"If God is who he is, how come there is such misery in the world?" But why not say: "If the devil should be exposed for what he does, how come we are not all annihilated by now?" Like it or not, like every one of us you were born in the midst of a spiritual conflict in a grand scale. Believing in nothing is by default towing the enemy's line - the enemy of your soul that is.

Blaming God for the bad things that happened to you is a sure way to alienate yourself from a worthwhile relationship with no other than the creator of the universe. Ponder that for a little while...

"Where was God when I needed Him?" You are a widow or a widower, a divorcee, a paraplegic confined to a wheelchair, a blind person groping in the dark, or just a human being with an unfulfilled existence - things didn't quite work out for you...

It is quite easy to dismiss what you don't understand. Yet the existence of God is so obvious that a young child can grasp it. Furthermore, the innocence of a child is the fertile ground for that relationship to blossom...

So what is the cause for plight of mankind? Enters a three letter word starting with S. Not sex, sorry to disappoint you but SIN. Yes sin is what causes us to wallow in our own spiritual vomit. Sin is that something ingrained into every human being that seeks rebellion from God and the desire to do our own thing.

That is the root cause of all evil and while you can't do much about the sin of other people you can do something about your own. God in His compassion has provided a full remedy for our predicament. The fulfilment of which takes place in eternity - not in the finite earthly age we live in, hence the confusion.

Have you noticed how time flies? What is the point of being wealthy and at ease in a world that is falling apart before our very eyes? Would you rather be transposed in a world where there is no sickness, no theft, no mistrust, no accident, no pain, no loneliness, no anger, no upheaval - and yes, no unbelief?

Enters another five letter word starting with F. Not fame, not fight, not forgery but FAITH. Faith is your rite of passage from this world we'd rather forget about onto the next. So how come those who believe are still here rather than being transported overnight?

Again the corporate body of believers in Jesus Christ are called "the body of Christ". If they operate under the influence of the Holy Spirit (the third person in the Godhead) they are here to do God's work to witness, disciple, fellowship and worship according to their calling.

So back to the beginning. The Bible is God's love letter to mankind. He will wipe out every tear and comfort every burdened soul that calls on Him. Read it for yourself. Don't trust the commentaries of mis-informed folks. Remember the devil is the father of lies. God is able to make the Bible plain to you. There is no other chance of salvation. Will you choose to rebel forever and be destroyed - or will you call on your Saviour and be born-again into a new spiritual life?
