The God of Resurrection

This booklet begins by asking questions that have troubled human beings throughout history: “Why should man, who has been created by God, be subject to suffering throughout the whole course of his life? Why should men still continue to suffer after they become children of God? And why should men’s sufferings increase with the increase of their devotion to God?” The answer to these questions lies in seeing the distinction between two titles of God, the living God and the God of resurrection, and seeing their relationship to God’s eternal purpose. The accomplishment of God’s purpose involves our having “an experiential knowledge of God not only as the living God but also as the God of resurrection.”
