God tells us we can bring all of our cares and worries to him because he cares for us. Whom should we pray for? We should be praying for everyone we care about. God doesn't like war, but he lets it happen because he has given us freedom to choose for ourselves even if our choice is to go to war.Ħ. When countries do this, it is called war. Thats when it may be necessary to use force to stop a big bully from taking things that arent his. But sometimes talking isnt enough to make the bully stop doing bad things to other people. Many times when this happens, others who see this wrong being done will try to stop it by talking to the side that is doing the wrong thing. When people have greed and selfishness in their hearts, they start a fight in order to get what isnt theirs. The Bible tells us that wars and fighting happen because of the way people are inside. When people have freedom to choose, sometimes they make bad choices and that creates wars. He has given everyone that freedom because it is so important to our lives. Why does God let war happen? God has given us the freedom to choose whether we will do right or wrong. God wanted freedom so much that he sent Jesus to earth to help everyone find freedom from sin in their lives, even if they live in a country that does not have freedom.ĥ. The Bible tells us that God does not want people to be oppressed. When someone or some country has freedom and someone else tries to take it away from them, this is called oppression. God wants freedom for all people and all countries, but he gives us the freedom to decide if we want to enjoy his freedom or not. He even lets us choose whether or not we will love him. Does God want freedom? Freedom is one of the most important things to God. There are some things that God allows us to do, even though he doesnt like them.Ĥ. But for now, we live in a world where things are not perfect. When God makes this new earth, there wont be war or weapons or pain or crying even the animals wont fight with each other! We will all live together in peace and harmony. The Bible tells us that one day God will make a new earth where there wont ever be any more wars. And God doesnt like to see people that he loves hurt each other. God loves all of us, no matter what side of the war we are on. Does God like war? No, God does not like war. It also helps us to know if we should fight in a war and when a war is right.ģ. Because we can see all sides of people, their good sides as well as their bad sides, it helps us learn right from wrong. The Bible was written so we could see how God is involved in the lives of people in all sorts of situations, including wars. As long as there have been people, there have been misunderstandings, disagreements, fights and wars. Since God is telling us about these people, he tells us a lot of things about them, including the wars they fought. Why are there so many wars in the Bible? The Bible is a book about real people and their countries. God wants people to be free, so when someone is taking away another persons freedom, God is on the side of protecting freedom.Ģ. If someone little is being hurt or beat up by someone bigger, God is on the side of protecting the little person who cant defend himself. So, even though it sometimes looks like God chooses sides, it is really people who choose whether or not they will be on Gods side. God doesnt change his mind about what is right and wrong. Does God choose sides? God is always on the side of what is right because it is God who made up the rules about what is right and what is wrong.
