Why? Juan M Perez

Even before I came to know Christ as my Savior, I have always been an inquisitive person. "Why," has been a constant frame of mind for me. It has never been enough just to know or believe something. I have a deep rooted need to know why. I am thankful God has saved me from "sin' and death. But I want to know why. I know that He loves me, but I want to know why. I believe He created the universe and everything that exists, but I want to know why. For many years I have just accepted that God had done this or that, and that He did it because He loved me. Great news! But, I wanted to know WHY! Sin exists, and I want to know why. Evil and demons exist, and I want to know why. Adam allowed "sin and death" into the world, and I want to know why. Satan seems to be powerful, and I want to know why. I know God is the most powerful being in existence, but He doesn't stop bad things from happening, and I want to know why. God did not stop "sin" and death from coming into being, and I want to know why. Religious answers are nice and all of that, but too often they lack real and practical answers that come from a real application of God's principles. Often people gives answers to questions that sound right, but often the Bible contradicts their perspectives. Either the Bible is correct, or these religious teachers and preachers are. Too many times we don't get the right answers because we really don't want them. More often people want to hear what already lines up with their preconceived beliefs. I don't care what I believe, it is what is true that is important. I want my beliefs to always line up with the truth of the Word of God, even when I don't like what it is saying. Actually, especially then. I may not always know the truth, but I want real answers! I want to know Why!
