Don't Blame God

Don't Blame GodBy Kenneth E. Hagin

(Editor’s Note: The following is drawn from Kenneth E. Hagin’s minibook Don’t Blame God. Click here to see this offer.)

It is difficult for people who are not acquainted with the Scriptures to understand that the natural laws governing the earth today largely came into being with the fall of man, when Adam sinned and the earth was cursed.

These natural laws, as we understand them, were set aside by Jesus whenever it was necessary to bless humanity. When Satan is finally bound and put in the bottomless pit, all of these laws will cease.

Because people do not understand these laws, many blame God for causing accidents, the sickness and death of loved ones, and such natural catastrophes as storms, earthquakes, and floods. Even insurance companies call natural disasters “acts of God,” but they are not acts of God at all!

God is not responsible for any of these things; neither is He the author of any of them. God is not the author of death. God is not to blame. Accidents, disease, sickness, death, and disasters come as a result of the fall of man. Their author is Satan.

Jesus said in John 10:10, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” In this verse, Jesus is contrasting the works of God with the works of the devil. You see, that which steals, kills, or destroys is the devil’s work.

That is plain enough, isn’t it?
