Seminar with Father Eko If God is Good, why is there suffering, war and chaos? According to several sources, suffering can occur for various reasons, including: God gives freedom to choose God gives humans the freedom to choose, including choosing right and wrong. When choosing the wrong, humans will experience suffering. God wants humans to learn God allows suffering so that humans learn how to love and become wiser. God wants humans to surrender to Him God uses suffering as a means for humans to surrender to Him. God wants humans to comfort others God may bring people into the lives of humans who are suffering, so that humans can help them. God wants to show His omnipotence God does not give a reason why He allows Job to suffer, but uses Job's ignorance to declare His omnipotence. God wants humans to see eternity This life is not the end of everything, and humans can look forward to eternity in the presence of God
