Does God experience our pain? Is He moved by our griefs and sorrows?

Question

Adreanna A,

Care to elaborate on that?

Answer 1

we are made in the image of god that's why we love and get happy and we get sad and we cry. so I'm pretty sure he know how we feel  

Answer 2

Yes, remember Jesus wept at the death of Lazarus.

Answer 3

are you?

Answer 4

Oh yes.  I know that when I am praying for others, I can feel their pain and weep.  I know that I am then feeling the heart of God.

Answer 5

"Jesus wept." John 11:35

God bless. <><

Answer 6

Yes. He grieves with us. Heaven is the perfect place where there is no more pain and everything is in perfect harmony

Answer 7

The Bible tells us that all of our tears are written in God's book, that they are all in His bottle. So yes. Jesus was "a man of sorrows, acquainted with suffering." And we are told that He will wipe all the tears from our eyes.

Jesus wept for Lazarus when he died, and also on the cross I am sure he wept for us all. He would not have come down to die for us if He were not moved by our suffering.

Answer 8

In my religion (hinduism),god is the knower of everything that exists.God has a portion of his energy in the soul of every living organism in heaven,in the material Universes and in the lower planets (h**l),and we call that the 'param atma' or the super soul.We believe that its our soul's cellphone.When we are making spiritual progress or doing religious service,that link is made through the super soul.When we feel pain,sorrow or grief,god knows we are feeling that because of his link with every soul in the countless Universes.In that sense,god is within our soul no matter where we are,what religion we are,whether you are human,a primitive organism,a monkey,pig,tree...etc.Because we believe as time goes on,the soul evolves as it becomes more spiritually elevated,and we move on to more superior bodies (like the human body) so that we can use our superior intelligence to further improve our link with god.The goal in my religion is to always remember god,and know he is there,regardless of what suffering or grief your material situation is going through,or whatever pain your body is going through,regardless of whether you go to heaven or not,its not about the place your at that makes you good or evil but how your soul is doing spiritually.

Answer 9

of course he knows our pain, Jesus is God and he came and experienced what its like to live in our shoes. he knows how it feels to be hungry, hurt, betrayed, cold, hot, worried. he knows everything.  

Answer 10

Truth is he dont give a shite!

Answer 11

I believe He does. Like others stated - not only we are made in His image, but Jesus came to earth as human and He lived a human (yet sinless) life. He experienced a wide range of human emotions, just like the rest of us (ie anger, sadness, compassion).

He knows us better than we know ourselves - which is what I think Adreanna might have been trying to say.

To sum it all up, I believe God knows exactly how we feel when we are hurting - and I have to believe that whatever sorrows we experience, whether self-created (through sin) or something happening to us, that He can and will see us through and lead us towards the good in the situation.

God is The Great Comforter.

(2 Corinthians 1:2-5 NIV) Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. {3} Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, {4} who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. {5} For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

(Isaiah 57:18-19 NIV) I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will guide him and restore comfort to him, {19} creating praise on the lips of the mourners in Israel. Peace, peace, to those far and near," says the LORD. "And I will heal them."

Answer 12

Surely dear. The lord Jesus is love. If we believes in him, he lives in us and he definitely knows each and every simple pains.Trust in him, he will cosole you. he is the lord. he is love....

Gob Bless You..
