Why do bad things happen? Answers in the Bible!

What happens in the world can be upsetting and hard to understand, so I've gone to the Bible to share with you the hope and peace it can bring.
I pray it gives you some comfort, as it gives me.
Please comment if you have questions, or just to share your thoughts.

Here are the verses I read from-
“God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, “God is tempting me.” God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else.

Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away.
These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.

So don’t be misled, my dear brothers and sisters. Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens.

He never changes or casts a shifting shadow. He chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭12‬-‭18‬ ‭NLT‬‬


“God’s law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God’s wonderful grace became more abundant. So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God’s wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭23‬ ‭NLT‬‬
