CHRISTIAN ANSWERS: Why does God allow suffering?

Why does God allow suffering? Does the existence of pain and evil prove that God is not good—or that he doesn’t exist? This video examines the problem of suffering through free will, natural laws, human growth, eternity, and the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Can God still be loving, powerful, and trustworthy when we don’t understand what he allows? ❓Ask a question Do you have a question from today’s video—or about Christianity or faith in general?
