self-sentience alone is not enough to deduce the reason for the existence of self. The answers must come from ‘outside’ the human experience. Therefore the source for answers must come from God’s own revelation.
There is nothing to sugar coat the answer to the question ‘Why God Wills you to Suffer’. You may not like the answer. It is a hard answer. It requires a shift of perspective that many will find difficult to accept or will reject outright. But the answer is not presented as speculation. It is not a guess. It is founded upon a framework that has its origins outside of the human experience. It comes from God’s own revelation of Himself, His Divine Nature, and through His Word.
A believer in Christ can go through a lifetime of suffering and never know why God designed it to be so. Until of course, at the end, when it is finally made clear.
But there is no need to wait. There is no need to cry in the dark like a child: ‘why, God, why?’ God has already revealed the ‘why’ of the design. And He has provided His Holy Spirit to illumine the way.
As A.W. Tozer said:
“Everywhere… we find persons who are Bible-taught but not Spirit-taught. They conceive truth to be something which they can grasp with the mind. The most brilliant intellect may be imbecilic when confronted by the mysteries of God. For a man to understand revealed truth requires an act of God equal to the original act which inspired the text.”
Truth only requires the believer let go of his own fallen morality, examine the subject through the lens of the revealed attributes of the Sovereign Almighty God, and to let the Spirit of God provide the illumination.
Let’s get started. And let’s go deep into the heart of God.
