Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Luke 11:2
Atheists often complain about the God in whom they don't believe. They point to children with cancer or the many who are starving and say that God is evil for creating such suffering. There is much irony here. Not only do they not believe in God, but they also deny His explanation for suffering. As a result, they are left with no God to blame and no explanation. The Bible says that we live in a fallen creation. It was when sin entered the world through Adam that it brought with it disease, suffering, and death. Everywhere we look we see evidence of the Genesis curse. Fortunately, because of the cross, we have a glorious and won-derful hope. It is because the coming kingdom will have no sin; there will be no suffering. Ever. No disease, no tears, and no pain. We will inherit this whole earth without the curse and will have pleasures forevermore. That's when we will see God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven. “Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells” (2 Peter 3:13).
