9. The redemption
God the Lord says:
"I have no pleasure in the death
of the wicked; but that the wicked
turn from his way and live."
The Bible: Ezekiel chapter 33, Verse 11
God deeply regrets all the suffering that people inflict on one another. But because God loves us humans and does not want us to suffer endlessly from the self-inflicted misery on this earth, He has prepared a way out to redeem us. The pivotal point of this plan of salvation is Jesus Christ, the Son of God (see: The way to redemption).
10. Victory over Satan
"But you know that he appeared
so that he might take away our sins.
And inhim is no sin."
The Bible: 1st John chapter 3, verse 5
Jesus was also tempted by Satan in every way imaginable. But with God's help, Jesus successfully resisted the devil's efforts to divide him and God. In this way, Jesus defeated Satan and sealed his downfall. At the same time, Jesus confirmed that God is the true and rightful ruler of his creation.
But Jesus' victory means much more. First, Jesus demonstrated through his life that anyone who is connected to God is able to resist the devil and his temptations. On the other hand, Jesus atoned for the sins of all people through his own death on the cross, thereby clearing the way to God and eternal life. This means that Jesus will resurrect all those who believe in him to immortal life when he returns.
Finally, Jesus will banish the devil and with him all evil from the world. Once this happens, God will transform the earth into a new paradise where all who have accepted God's salvation can live in peace and security for all time. In doing so, God gives us hope for a future without suffering and without pain, in which everyone who wants can participate. The way to this life is Jesus Christ (See: Who is Jesus Christ?).
11. the end of all suffering
"The Lord is good, a strong hold
in the day of trouble; and He
knows them that trust in Him."
The bible: Nahum chapter 1, Verse 7
Although we are not entirely spared suffering and tribulation in this fallen world, everyone who trusts God can receive His protection and assistance. And even when people die through no fault of their own, God gives us comfort and confidence through the hope of resurrection from the dead. The expectation of eternal life in the world to come in turn gives strength to endure the current challenges of this world. Because in the end - God promises us - good will win (see: Human history according to the Bible).
God allows some suffering so that we humans can seek Him and understand where our existence without God and the ignorance of His commandments leads. On the other hand, God wants to make visible the full extent of the evil that Satan and everyone who has followed his path has brought to this world. From this everyone should recognize that God is just and good and Satan is a liar. Eventually the devil and his angels will meet their God-ordained end. Since Satan knows full well that his time is running out and that his judgment is already certain, he is now trying with all his might to drag as many people as possible into the abyss with him in the time he has left. On the other hand, God tirelessly calls us humans to repentance so that we can be saved. Each person seals his eternal fate through his personal decision.
12. Back to God
God the Lord says:
"Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man
his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord,
And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon."
The bible: Isaiah chapter 55, Verses 6-7
God is longingly waiting for us to turn to Him and realize that we need God and that our lives only have a future with God. Ultimately, everything that happens to us in this world - both the good and the bad - is intended to guide us to God and thus save us from the ultimate ruin that a life without God inevitably leads to.
Instead of blaming God for the suffering in the world, we must understand that God is the solution to all our problems. At the same time, we must acknowledge that fallen humanity is unable to free itself from its current state on its own. Only when we are willing to submit to God's will will there be peace and prosperity for all people; and only then will war, poverty and all injustice come to an end.
There is hope for everyone who is willing to repent and be reconciled with God. For everyone else, all hope is in vain.... (See: what does faith mean?)
The choice is ours.
The Lord God speaks:
"Turn yourselves, and live ye."
The Bible: Ezekiel chapter 33, Verse 11
