It allows you to have a personal relationship with the God of all comfort.
You have a relationship with the God of all comfort: Believing in Christ for the forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life in Him is essential to your healing. But now that you believe in Christ, the best thing is that you’ll see and enjoy the culmination of His plan to rid the world of sin and suffering. Your suffering only makes sense in the context of that story. You know what’s going on: While you may never know all the details concerning why your loved one died (Deuteronomy 29:29), you have a better idea of the big picture: we live in a sin-cursed world, and God is doing something about it. Look at some of the remarkable and comforting things that have occurred: If you invited Christ into your life, many things have changed. That’s why it’s critical to share these truths with you now, even in the midst of your grief.
Was there ever a time when you took pleasure in sharing gossip that hurt someone’s reputation?Īnd while those acts (or others like them) are small when compared to the big evils of the world, anything you do that God doesn’t like is sin, and the punishment is eternal suffering. 
Have you ever held a grudge that caused you to withhold kindness?. Was there a time when you slacked off on your responsibilities and caused work to pile up on someone else?. 
Have you ever lost your temper and said things that hurt someone?. Quite frankly, that’s why it’s easier to rest in the illusion that sources outside our control are the cause of the problems we face.īut if we’re honest, we have to admit that murderers, terrorists, and white-collar criminals aren’t the only ones causing suffering in this world. These truths are tough to process on a good day, even harder when you’re dealing with grief. Right about now, you may feel a bit beat up or perhaps offended that God views you as a sinner.
