Why do good things happen to bad people?
“[God] makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.”
As a pastor I am often asked "Why do bad things happen to good people?" But rarely do I get this other question. Really, why do good things happen at all?
I once worked for a company that preached "What's good for you personally will be good for the company". This Darwinian 'survival of the fittest' philosophy could lead nowhere good (and it didn't).
From what I know of The Fall, sin, world history, current events, and my own heart, the source of any goodness is a mystery. But it's a mystery God reveals to everyone willing to see.
