LESSON 26

Why Bad Things De Happen and Why People De Suffer?

Why Bad Things De Happen and Why People De Suffer?

When bad thing happen e dey normal to ask say: “Why this thing happen?” We dey happy to know say Bible give correct answer to that question!

1. Wetin Satan do wey make bad things start to happen?

Satan the Devil stop to obey God. Satan want rule other people, so e make Adam and Eve stop to obey God. E do this one when e tell Eve lie. (Genesis 3:1-5) E make Eve think say Jehovah de hide one good thing from Eve. This thing wey Satan talk mean say people go dey happy if they no obey God. Satan talk the first lie when e tell Eve say Eve no go die. So, Bible talk say Satan “na liar and na e be the papa of lie.”John 8:44.

2. Wetin Adam and Eve choose to do?

Jehovah really dey good to Adam and Eve. E talk say they fit chop from all the trees for the garden but na only one they no fit chop from. (Genesis 2:15-17) But they decide say they go chop from that tree. Eve “come de take the fruit de chop-am.” Later Adam “come de chop-am.” (Genesis 3:6) The two of them no obey God. Because Adam and Eve no get sin for body, e dey easy for them to do the correct thing. But because they decide say they no go obey God, they sin and they no gree make God de tell them wetin they go do and wetin they no go do. Wetin they choose make them really suffer.—Genesis 3:16-19.

3. How the decision wey Adam and Eve make don affect us?

When Adam and Eve no obey, this one make sin enter their body, and they transfer the sin to their pikin them. Bible talk about Adam say: “Na from one man sin enter this world, and sin cause death, na e make everybody de die.”Romans 5:12.

We de suffer because of plenty reasons. Sometimes we de suffer because of the bad decisions wey we make. Sometimes we de suffer because of the bad decisions wey other people make. And sometimes we de suffer because we dey for the wrong place for the wrong time.—Read Ecclesiastes 9:11.
