and then people are always asking why does God
allow bad things to happen to good people and good things to happen to bad
people and truly truly truly I say to you people! people! you don’t really
understand and it’s gonna sound harsh and it’s gonna be harsh for you to hear
but the simple truth simply stated is this:
it ain’t about good or bad.
not even a bit.
it’s about salvation.
yeah yeah now I know you’re all p’o’ed because
you want to wear your salvation like a big ol’ football jersey to show the
world that you play for the wining team, but it’s not about that either. You accept Jesus, you’re saved. BAM! You’re going to Heaven. Hallelujah and all that jazz.
You being good is your football jersey. Not your acceptance. You waving that flag shows that you obey Him
and by being happy by obeying Him, that let’s OTHER people want to wear that
jersey and BAM! they come to Christ.
Now, all this stuff about bad things happening
to good people and good things happening to bad people, that has nothing to do
with your salvation, your relationship with God, and what you have to do with
the gifts that He gives you. All that
other stuff is a direct result of what other people are doing with THEIR
salvation (or lack of it), their relationship (or lack of it) with God, and
what THEY are doing (or not) with the gifts that He has given them.
So, when it comes down to why does the good/bad
etc happen, well, I kinda summarize it like this:
That’s life.
Life is shit.
Shit happens.
