When Bad Things Happen To Good People | By Pastor Bong Baylon | RLCC Date: Oct 19, 2022 Text: Psalm 44:1-26 When we know we are at fault, it is easier to accept when bad things happen to us. But when we know that we are not doing anything wrong, it is harder to accept. We begin to ask the Lord all sorts of questions. Often, our questions are wrong because our focus is on the character of God rather than on ourselves.

15 “We who are Jews by birth and not sinful Gentiles 16 know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified. 17 “But if, in seeking to be justified in Christ, we Jews find ourselves also among the sinners, doesn’t that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not! 18 If I rebuild what I destroyed, then I really would be a lawbreaker. 19 “For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!” (Galatians 2:15-21) Salvation is the most important gift we can ever receive from God. This is why we must be certain that we have received it. Unfortunately, not everyone, especially in the church, can honestly say with conviction that they have really received salvation and are experiencing its power on a day-to-day basis. Many will say that they are doing their best to receive it. But not yet. They are still trying to be good people, but since they are not, they humbly hope that God would eventually save them. Or, they assume that they are already saved because of some previous transaction with God (e.g., praying the sinner's prayer). But the transforming power of the Gospel has yet to be seen in their lives.
