When people say, “Everything happens for a reason,” how do I respond biblically?

A quote I saw today relates, it says something like this: " If you are in Christ, your scars will not have the last word...His scars will."

I totally believe dr Ferguson.
Christians are different from the rest. And God takes care of His own and has a plan for us.
I love the Ligonier teachers.

Very wise counsel, from a wise and godly man. There is an old saying "everything works for those who work for God". However, for the unsaved - even if their lives seem to be "perfect", there is always a fly in the ointment, and of course, their eternal destiny doesn't bear thinking about.

Amen. I think people forget that we reap what we sow and they want to make an excuse.

It’s amazing when you are first saved to look at the order of events that played out, there are no coincidences in Gods world but you have to have your eyes opened to that to understand the magnitude and millimetre, nano second perfection of all that xx

REPENT: Christmas is condemned in Revelation 11:10 and Jeremiah 10:1-5. Easter is condemned in Acts 12:4 and Ezekiel 8:16.

I'd love to hear what all of you professional Christians think Jesus fathers name is that created him and that he prayed to while on earth doing the will of his father
