Question:
Why is there suffering in the world?

Answer:
Suffering is the result of sin. Woman have pain in child-bearing (Genesis 3:16). Work is a curse of sin, causing him to “sweat” (Genesis 3:17-19). Before man sinned, man dressed and kept the garden of Eden (Genesis 2:15), but there were no thorns, weeds, or mosquitoes then. After he sinned, the Lord told him: “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return” (Genesis 3:19).

But this is just temporary for the believer! Romans 8:20-23 says: “For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
