Why Does God Allow Bad Things To Happen To Good People? | Special Message | Pastor Mark Ramirez

Sep 10, 2025    Pastor Mark Ramirez

In times of tragedy, we often grapple with the age-old question: Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people? This powerful message delves into the story of Cain and Abel from Genesis 4, offering profound insights into human nature, free will, and God's sovereignty. We're reminded that while God knows all things, He allows humans to exercise their will - even when those choices lead to devastating consequences. The key lesson here is that God always provides warnings and opportunities for repentance, but ultimately, the choice to do good or evil lies with us. This message challenges us to examine our hearts, confront our anger, and choose to 'do well' in the face of disappointment or rejection. It's a call to trust in God's justice and mercy, even when we can't understand His ways. As we navigate the complexities of faith in a fallen world, we're encouraged to fix our eyes on the eternal, knowing that our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
