Why do Christians experience suffering and sickness?

The presence of suffering and sickness is a result of sin entering the world, as noted in Romans 5:12, where death came through sin. In Luke 4, we observe Christ healing various ailments, illustrating His authority over both physical and spiritual afflictions. While Christians are not immune to suffering, it serves as a reminder of our fallen state and the hope we have in Christ as our ultimate healer. Furthermore, through faith, we can endure hardship, knowing that physical ailments do not define our eternal destiny. Our assurance rests in the fact that Christ has conquered sin and death, giving believers hope beyond this temporal suffering.
