    Is God Punishing Us When We Suffer

    Subscribe ▼ Show Notes Our church for today’s episode is the church at Smyrna. This church and the instructive words of our Lord about it are not as commonly studied by most Christians. This church in Smyrna was suffering, and we can learn much from them. The Church at Smyrna There are various ways in which Christians are beginning to suffer more aggressively throughout the world. Our attitude toward suffering is important. I often ask the question, “Why…have I done something to deserve this?” Or “what did I do wrong?” We often make serious errors in judgment when reacting to suffering and difficulty. Job and the congregation at the church at Smyrna teach some valuable lessons. God is sovereign and his ways are not always understood by us. Our tendency to rely on ourselves often causes us to treat God like a cosmic vending machine. Similar to karma, we sometimes think that we put in inputs and the machine produces an outcome for us. Suffering This flawed way of thinking is the cause of despair and emotional disorders. Learning to see the world from God’s perspective is comforting, but we must know who God is and know God relationally if we are to process suffering in a constructive, healthy way. God’s nature includes His love. His attributes are fully included in one another. Therefore, God’s love is in each of his other attributes. Even His wrath is loving. His love can permeate and even characterize our lives. The God who loved in Scripture is our God! My prayer is that this episode will help us to see suffering and challenges more clearly in the context of God’s purposes for us. Thank you for listening to Relentless Truth.
