Why bad things happen to good people - Spanish Video Transcripts
Video 1 Transcript
In life, we are going to go through many experiences, both good and bad. And so, God needs us to go through the bad experiences as well, because they are experiences from which we can learn and grow. If we don't go through difficult experiences, we won't grow and become like Jesus Christ. Many difficult and sad things happened to Him. And if we want to be His disciples, we are also going to go through difficult things.

Hello, my name is Perla. Why do bad things happen to good people? That is a question that I would also love to have the perfect or correct answer to. But I think we all have to go through trials because we live in a fallen world. We came to this earth with the purpose of improving. And to be able to improve and reach our potential, we need to be tested. And that is why there is opposition. So, having that opposition in our lives and going through those bad experiences help us learn, strengthen us, and help us be humble to follow God. And then know that we can do difficult things in our lives.

Why do bad things happen to good people? I think it's a question that all of us have had before, but what I have learned is that sometimes those bad things that happen to us are not because God is trying to punish us, many times because he is trying to teach us. And something also very important is that we have to understand that God gives us our albedo, and sometimes someone does something to us that hurts us, but God cannot remove the albedo from that person. So, sadly, part of this mortal experience that we are living, it is necessary that these bad things happen to us. If we never had hard experiences, we could never grow into better people.

Even though people are good, they are still human. And that doesn't excite them, we are not exempt from human things happening to us, that happen to all of us, like getting sick, or physical things that we could go through. But the difference is not that good or bad things happen to us, the difference is how we face life, and how good people, even though bad things happen to them, we continue to face everything that happens, facing things with love for Christ, love for others, and with a point of view that is different. I also think that it makes them more human, more sensitive to other people who are going through something similar, and with them we have the opportunity to empathize more, to be more human, and to understand each other more.

Hello, good morning. I think that bad things happen to very good people because life is complicated and that this land in which we live is not perfect. I think that, whether it's storms or cancer or whatever, bad things also happen to good people so that other people can learn how to love those who have suffered these bad things. It's a very difficult question to answer, but I also believe that apart from bad things, natural things like storms, bad things can happen to us because of other people who make bad decisions.

Well, why do bad things happen to good people? Well, I think that in this life there should always be opposition to all things. I think that happiness cannot exist without sadness. So, I think that also when challenges and very difficult tests come, they are actually tests that our Heavenly Father puts on us to test our faith, to test if we are faithful even in adversity. And if He sees that we strive to overcome our tests, He will bless us in a great way for having been faithful to Him at all times.

I really like a song called La Prueba es Vivir, and I have been able to see that this is true. Sometimes things happen to us or someone else that we don't understand why. But the Heavenly Father does. We don't know his purposes, but something good comes out of it. Maybe we don't understand it, but the Heavenly Father does. And I really like a scripture that is in Corinthians that says that when we overcome challenges, a weight of glory is added to us. So everyone who is going through difficult things and is a good person, well, blessings are going to accumulate in heaven. They are like one more point to reach the heavenly kingdom. Maybe here we don't see the reward, but in heaven we do.
