QUOTE : Question Six: "Why do bad things happen to good people?” Answer: Bad things don’t happen to good people. This is because there are no "good” people according to the Bible (see Psalm 14:1–3). God’s definition of a "good” person is someone who is morally perfect — in thought, word, and in deed. Only God is good. A more relevant question would be, "Why do good things happen to bad people?” The answer is that God has lavished His kindness upon us, despite our many sins.
