2. Suffering can be a challenge to Christianity because it seems to challenge the idea that God is love. According to Christianity, suffering is an inevitable part of life but will not be present in heaven. Christians believe that Jesus Christ chose to experience suffering and, consequently, can comfort humans in their suffering. Christians do not believe that suffering challenges the ideas of reincarnation, that God is all-powerful, or of repentance.
