9 and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of
the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all
things, 10 so that through the church the manifold
wisdom of God might now be made known to the
rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. 11 This
was according to the eternal purpose that he has
realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have
boldness and access with confidence through our faith
in him.

Who put Jesus on the Cross?

Who put Jesus on the Cross?
Did Jesus die for you, or for God?

23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of
God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through
the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God
put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be
received by faith.This was to show God's righteousness,
because in his divine forbearance he had passed over
former sins. 26 It was to show his righteousness at the
present time, so that he might be just and the justifier
of the one who has faith in Jesus.
R omans
3:21-26

Why is there pain?

Why is there pain?
Why doesn’t God end this suffering?

8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with
the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a
thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slow to
fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient
toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that
all should reach repentance.
2 Peter
3:8-10
