Emotional Problem of Evil

Now let us explain the emotional problem wrong. I think most people who reject God for the evil in the world do so because of the intellectual difficulties. Rather, it is an emotional problem: just do not like a God who permits suffering, and therefore want nothing to do with it. . His atheism is simply a rejection. "The Christian faith has something to say to these people? We are told that God is not a distant creator or a reason to be impersonal, but a loving Father who shares our suffering and injury to us.

As the Christian sees things, God will not sit still, chilling watching the suffering of his creatures. He comes into the actions and suffering. He supports the anguish of seeing her Son, the Second Person of the Trinity, sent to the bitterly cruel and shameful death of the cross. .. Christ was willing to endure the pains of hell. In order to overcome sin and death and the evils that afflict our world and gives us a more glorious life than we can imagine. Was willing to suffer on our behalf, to accept the suffering of which we can not form the conception.

You see, Jesus endured a suffering beyond all comparison, because it bore the punishment for the sins of the world. None of us can comprehend that suffering. Despite his innocence, he voluntarily took upon them the punishment they deserved. Why? Simply because He loves us. When we understand His love and sacrifice for us, this puts the problem of evil in a new perspective. Now we see clearly that the problem of evil is really our problem of evil. Full of sin and morally guilty before God, we face the question, not how God can justify himself to us, but how can be justified before him. Thus, paradoxically, despite the problem of evil is the greatest objection to the existence of God at the end of the day, God is the only solution to the problem of evil.
