Why Defending God Isn't Our Job
Episode Overview
It's not our job to defend God's actions. The question of God's goodness presupposes human goodness. Focus on proclaiming the gospel rather than justifying God. Everyone has sinned and fallen short of God's glory. Trust in God's plan and stand firm in your faith.
It's not your job to get God off the hook. Understand the gospel, my friend.
In this episode of Road of Redemption, Daniel Irving tackles a tough question many believers face: 'If God is so good, why does He allow bad things to happen?' Daniel shares his thoughts on why it's not our job to get God off the hook. Instead, he emphasises the importance of proclaiming the gospel and letting God's message speak for itself.
Drawing from his own experiences and biblical references, Daniel argues that the question itself is flawed because it presupposes human goodness and puts God on trial. He reminds us that everyone has sinned and fallen short of God's glory. The real focus should be on spreading the good news of Jesus Christ rather than trying to justify God's actions.
With a mix of personal anecdotes, scriptural insights, and a touch of humour, Daniel encourages listeners to stand firm in their faith and trust in God's plan. He challenges believers to shift their focus from defending God to proclaiming His message. By doing so, Daniel believes we can better fulfil our mission as Christians. Tune in to hear his passionate take on this common dilemma and find encouragement in your own faith journey.
