why do bad things happen

Our small country town and area has been touched again by death. Over the last week, 3 people, the oldest 28 and the youngest just 2, died suddenly in separate and horrific ways.

Why, why our minds question is this happening? How can a loving God allow this?

I have come to understand that hardship is what our world should expect and that because of mans choice and fall into sin way back in the garden of Eden, we are and always will be subject to hard, hard things on this earth.

While it may seem unfair and cruel, mankind made the choice way back in Eden to choose sin over God, to choose their/my way over God's way and sin entered the world. We have been on a slippery slope ever since, one that God wants to help us navigate.

He didn't want us to live with sins ugly consequences, we chose that back in Genesis.

Only if we have accepted Gods free gift of salvation will we experience life sinless like Eden again.

Will we make the same mistake twice??

What choice have you made? Will you choose as Adam and Eve did or by faith will you accept God's gift.
