Why Does God Allow Suffering? A Biblical Perspective
Why does God allow suffering? The Bible doesn’t minimize pain—it locates it in a fallen world (Gen. 3; Rom. 5) and then points us to the cross. Jesus’ suffering was according to God’s redemptive plan (Acts 2:23), proving God is sovereign and loving. For those in Christ, suffering is not condemnation (Rom. 8:1); it unfolds within God’s fatherly purpose, where “all things” work together for good (Rom. 8:28) and present groaning gives way to future glory (Rom. 8:18; Rev. 21:4).

Death is real—but in Christ, it is not final.

Covenant theology is the big picture written in large print across every page of the Bible: God relates to us through covenants. It’s not something we impose on the Bible, but is the study of God’s promises and the relationships he forms through them. It’s about learning to read the Bible as one unified story of a God who makes and keeps his promises—a story that stretches from Genesis to Revelation, and even includes you.
The story of the biblical covenants (after the Fall) is about Covenant Breakers and the Covenant Keeper. Let me introduce you this story, in Covenant Theology 101.
