苦难的目的

我有一位朋友，一年多前，因为一场交通意外，他失去他亲爱的妻子，意外给他很大的打击。开始时他很消沉，我有点害怕他会因此跌倒，事实证明我的担心是多余的。

一个有根基成熟的基督徒，意外不但不会削弱他对神的信心，这说明他所相信的是真实的。我们所相信的神是一位全能良善的神，依靠圣灵，活出良善的生命，让我们的生命成为一本活圣经，给还没有相信的人，可以看到神的良善与真实。

[ 撒旦回答耶和华说：“约伯敬畏 神，难道是无缘无故的吗？。 (约伯记1：9)”]

每个人敬畏神都有原因，使徒保罗说：“我们也是人，性情和你们一 样，（使徒行传 14：15）” 约伯敬畏神有原因，使徒保罗也是有原因，我们也是人也不会例外。约伯记让我们看到，信仰的根基建立在神的祝福上是很肤浅的。圣经说，：“日头出来一晒，因为没有根，就枯乾了 ”神让苦难临到约伯，一是不要让撒旦有借口，二是要让约伯的信仰有美好的根基。

[ 我卻要因耶和華歡喜，以救我的　神為樂。（哈巴谷书 3：18）]

我的朋友在地上不可能再像过去那样的快乐，因为他所爱的妻子已经不在世上， 但是我和他在一起时，我会感受到他灵里的喜乐，他的喜乐告我永恒的真实。苦难是要叫我们的眼目，从地上转到天上。


I have a friend over a year ago because of a traffic accident he lost his dear wife and gave him a great blow. In the beginning he was very depressed, I am a little afraid he would fall, finally the fact prove that my worries are unnecessary.

The foundation of a mature Christian, accidents will not weaken his confidence in God, it shows that he believes is real. We believe God is an almighty goodness of God, relying on the Holy Spirit, live out the goodness of life, let our lives be a living Bible, to those who do not believe that they can see God's goodness and truth.

[ Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for no reason? (Job 1:9) ]

Everyone has a reason for fear of God, the Apostle Paul said: " We also are men, of like nature with you, (Acts 14:15) " Job fear God for a reason, the apostle Paul is also a reason that we are people too, is no exception. Job Let us see that the foundation of faith based on God's blessing is very superficial. The Bible says: "the sun come out in the sun, because there is no root, they withered away.” God to allow the suffering befall Job, first, do not let Satan have an excuse, and second, to make Job's belief for a better foundation.

[ yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.（Habakku 3:18）]

My friend on the ground can no longer happy as in the past, because his beloved wife is not in the world , but he and I together, I will feel the joy of his Spirit, and his joy divisions me that eternal is truth.
Suffering is to turn our focus from this life to eternity.
