WHY DOES THE EARTH SUFFER?
The earth suffers for the sins of its people, for they have twisted God’s instructions, violated his laws, and broken his everlasting covenant. (Isaiah 24:5 NLT)
Why does the earth suffer?
For the sins of human beings.
We live in a world affected by sin. We live in a world affected by Sin. This we sometimes call a “fallen world”.
Everything is imperfect because of Sin. Family is imperfect, politics, economy, churches, schools, workplaces, etc.
Because we have bent God ‘s Laws.
The earth suffers for the sins of its people, for they have twisted God’s instructions, violated his laws, and broken his everlasting covenant.
(Isaiah 24:5 NLT)
Solution:
“Come now, let’s settle this,” says the Lord.“Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow.Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool.If you will only obey me, you will have plenty to eat. (Isaiah 1:18-19 NLT)
Think about it:
Have you had to suffer because of sin?
Are you living in obedience or disobedience to God?
What do you have to do to live with God’s blessing?
