Questions and Answers Worth-Pondering

* How can I find genuine peace?

Isaiah 48:17,18

"This is what Jehovah has said, your Repurchaser, the Holy One of Israel: "I, Jehovah, am your God, the One teaching you to benefit yourself,  the One causing you to tread in the way in which you should walk. O if only you would actually pay attention to my commandments! Then your peace would become just like the river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea."


 


* Will evil always exist?

Proverbs 2:21,22

"The upright are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it. As regards the wicked, they will be cut from the earth; and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it."




* Will there be an end to sickness and suffering?

Revelation 21:3,4

"Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things (today's many problems) have passed away.




These are the assurances of God, who can never lie. (Titus 1:2) Our response to his promises reveals whether we have faith in him. Hebrews 11:1 says: "Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld."
