-4 Views on Evil and Suffering
Second, we learn that God alone in his sovereignty can bring good from evil and suffering.
-God can bring good out of suffering in us and through us.
Third, we learn that the pathway through suffering and evil is found in admitting our limitations as we follow God’s expectations.
-Limitations: We’re not in control. We must not complain.
-Expectations: We must forgive others. We must trust God.
