Many struggle with trusting God because they believe His sovereignty makes Him the source of human suffering. If He controls all things, good or evil, how can we rely on Him? Some say suffering teaches lessons—but how comforting is that to a parent who has just lost a newborn?
In this teaching, we explore Yahweh’s love from the very beginning. In Genesis, He created the garden of Eden, a place of delight and intimate fellowship with humanity. Everything was “very good,” with no suffering or evil. He gave Adam and Eve dominion over the earth and the freedom to choose—but when they chose their own way, sin entered the world. Sin—not Yahweh—is the true source of suffering.
Yet Yahweh’s response reveals His infinite resources. Horrified by the consequences of sin, He immediately set a plan of redemption in motion. By working with humanity through persuasion rather than coercion, He continually guides creation toward restoration. No matter the choices people make, Yahweh is able to turn even hardship into an opportunity for good and keep His promise of a renewed creation.
This audio teaching dives deep into how Yahweh’s love, wisdom, and resourcefulness transform our understanding of suffering and redemption. Discover how He works behind the scenes to bring restoration, hope, and ultimately, a new garden of Eden.
