Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world and death by sin and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
It is true that God sent His Son Jesus into the world to save us from our sins, and to grant us abundant life, but this does not always translate into living a life that is free from the adverse results of sin. To a great extent, the consequences of transgression are mitigated in those who accept Christ, but the fallout from sin can persist for years.
The sin we are referring to is not only that which a person may have committed, but also the original sin which occurred in our first parents. Even though we were not there when they chose to sin, the fact remains that we are their offspring, and collateral damage in us is the natural result of what occurred back then.
Therefore, with the understanding that sin causes collateral damage in persons, we must now address some of the unresolved questions and issues which haunt our minds from time to time. When persons suffer, for seemingly no reason, folks are disturbed, and may voice their concern, but when God blesses those who are rebelling against Him, not a word of remonstrance is heard.
Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
