Why Do We Experience Sickness, Suffering, and Death?

If God is good, why do we suffer? Why do the innocent become sick? Why must we watch our loved ones grow old and die?

The Orthodox faith teaches us to understand sickness, suffering, and death in light of humanity's Fall, our fallen condition, and the saving work of Jesus Christ. Our story does not end with suffering or the grave. Through Christ's death and Resurrection, we are offered the hope of healing, restoration, and eternal life.
