Perhaps the most common objection to the Christian faith—or any faith—is suffering and injustice. How could there be a good God when there seems to be so much evil in the world? Wouldn't an all-powerful, loving God have stepped in by now? Os Guinness, renowned Christian intellectual and social critic, addresses one of life's hardest questions, providing us with his take on the truth behind suffering and injustice.

Peace & Mercy of God abound to u!
To understand God's justice you need to know Christ & the Message of the cross.
His Divine justice removed the carnal,sinful nature,which is the cause for all the evil consequences in people's life.& He gave us(those who have received Him,believe in His name,who accepted His Lordship) thru Christ his divine power to dominate the sinful nature, to control any events.He enables us(those who live in Christ) to escape the wordly corruption, injustices,...& be partakers of the Divine nature(the fullness of God,by which we are made complete, powerful, His reflection,by which we are fully redeemed to be God's own people,...),& to be for the praise of his Glory.
We have such hope,such Freedom in Christ, but we musn't turn our freedom into an opportunity for the flesh(the carnal nature).
understand that whatever a man(whether a Christian or pagan)
sows , that & that only he'll reap:" he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the spirit will from the spirit reap eternal life".God is not mocked. To escape & overcome the injustice & sufferings of our evil doings, we must be in Christ; live in Christ, rooted & built up in Him ,who is our only guarantee of protection, security.
But be not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering for what is right, instead rejoice because you are blessed.
Besides, it is our complete transformation in the image of Christ that enables us to live in the Glorious Freedom of the children of God.
Do then every effort by the Grace of God to be blameless, perfect in the Sight of God.Such action abound the presence,the Sovereignty of of God, which is His Justice & your power of influence,& your overcoming position over any circumstances.
God Bless!
