Why do good people die while bd people prosper?

My Aunt who is a christain is dying of colon cancer. She has always been an inspiration to me-she's so loving,generous and caring. I don't know if I would have survived my traumatic childhood if not for her. I don't understand why such a wonderful woman has to suffer. Where is God in all of this?? Someone please help me understand!!!!!!!!!

Bad things do happen to good people. But God never leaves us in our suffering, in fact a born again Christian will be with Jesus forever. He will go with us through every trial, He will keep us forver.

To answer your question on why: the root cause is sin, not her sin but sin and the damage it's caused to us all.
Read Romans chapter 5, it will help you understand why things are the way they are.

But the bottom line is this, your Aunt has hope, that hope is heaven and eternal life with her savior Jesus. The lost man that does not suffer in this life has no hope.
Jesus asked this: what does it profit a man to gain the world but lose his soul?

I am sorry to hear about your Aunt, I prayed for her, that her faith remains strong. I also pray that your faith grows.

God bless
