Q-1. I sometimes wonder if God loves me. If he is a loving God, why is there so much suffering in the world? A. In His book called the Bible, God explains that our sins are the cause for all the suffering and sorrow. It is true that God reveals His love to the whole world, as we read in one of the most quoted verses in the Bible:
For God so loved the world that He gave his only Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)
Q-2. But I am not wicked. I am a decent, moral person. Surely the good I have done in my life far outweighs whatever bad I have done. How can these verses apply to me?
A. By God's standard of righteousness, even the most moral person is looked upon by God as a desperate sinner who deserves God's wrath. The Bible teaches that no one is good enough in himself to go to Heaven. On the contrary, we are all sinners, and we are all guilty before God.
