If God loved us that he Created us in his own image, when then, do we suffer? This is a common question people do ask. Bro Eli make us understand that there wouldn't have been suffering on earth but our oath, our sins caused it. If not for our disobedience,we shouldn't have been suffering on earth at all. God created man in his image and likeness,He created us with true love and kindness, We are His pricde. When He created man ,there was no evil on earth, infact ,there was nothing like sickness or illness, there is nothing like accident and nothing like death. He didn't created us with the mind that we will die one day.
God commanded Adam and Eve, who are the first Human created by God . He gave them instructions to eat the fruit he had planted in the garden except one which is the one that can make them die. You will see that in Gen.2:17, He expected them to do according to his instructions but they did otherwise. This actions of them is the reason why for man suffering on earth, if they had heed to the instructions, we won't have been experiencing death, death only came to the world because of the dishonest of man. Roman 5:12 tells us that as by one man sin entered into the world.
People now complains and questions why we suffer, when we suffer by our own disobedient. Justice is being passed from our own disobedient, justice is being passed from the first humans-Adam and Eve to every man on earth. Just like justice has to be maintained on earth, if not, wickedness would be many, there must be justice in every area of life which is equity, so, if we go against the rule of equality, then we are to suffer the consequences.
It's just an arithmetic way of reasoning.
