1 Corinthians 15:1-6

If God is all powerful and good, then why do bad things happen? This is the classic question of the problem of evil. There are two ways to approach this question: from the head and from the heart. From the head the answer is God allows evil to either prevent a greater evil or bring about a greater good. However, that will not make anyone feel better. The heart issue is that when we suffer, we need God to comfort us. The challenge is to trust in the God who allowed us to suffer.
