Why do people who do good to others die or suffer till death. People, who are innocent and have nothing but respect, taken wrongly. Doesn't God understand that?

What I mean by good people dying is dying early. I mean death can happen anytime, but don't you see the pattern? Good people dying at an early age. Good people who have barely commited any sins and are benefactors and role models amongst our society.

I understand your question and have wondered about it before also. But if you think about it, the question is rooted in a couple possibly erroneous beliefs:
1) our definition of "good" should be the baseline
2) and because some people are good (whatever that really is), they deserve something better. Really, who (on earth) can say what or who is good and what people deserve.
3) You're also looking at death as the end and as something bad, probably because when people die, they leave US and we're the ones left to suffer the loss...although I understand sometimes people suffer long deaths also. Maybe after "good people" die, they go to a better place. Would you begrudge them the chance at eternal happiness?
The Bible says no one is good except God the Father, and that our righteousness is as filthy rags (compared to his holiness).
These things just aren't up to us. Best, GG.

Well you can draw a number of conclusions from this;
God understands and doesn't care
He understands but can't/won't do anything about it
He doesn't exist
He doesn't understand
There are no innocent people ; death is the great equaliser
Just to name a few.

God is not the problem. i can assure you this. what is though, is your point of view. death comes to us all no matter how its is brought it is still death. suffering is unimportant as far as the impact in which you want your reader to feel when you use this word. suffering is not nor woill ever be new. god know's this. he allows it for the appreciation of what you have. this is the way it is. have a nice day.

Wise people say it's good to give, but you shouldn't expect to recieve back. And then you won't be dissapointed. About innocense and respect, well, people are so different. And sometimes you might be in the wrong place in the wrong moment. Just try to keep yor faith in life.

jesus suffered for us and lost his life, why should we deserve any less. There are many lessons to be learned from life when someone suffers or dies. One is to respect life and know how lucky you truly are to be healthy and alive. Everything in life is a lesson, and in the end you come out wiser and smarter, hopefully.

First... This world is dominated by evil. satan is the prince of this earth.
Second...mankind rejected God and lost the guarantee of Salvation.
Third... only those who come to God as He prescribes will be received by Him
Fourth...being "good" and "inocent" by man's standards are not part of God's prescription for those who wish to come to Him.

Its very unfortunate, but it is the way life goes. I'm with the answerer that said its in how you live your life... no matter how short or long it may be, live it to the fullest right from day one.

Kinda agree. as the wicked seem to flourish while the righteous perish . Nobody knows the reason , but I'm a little tired of it myself .

it is because no man is sinless and because Adam and Eve sinned they caused the first death on earth, so because of their mistake, we must die but if we follow the Bible and get saved through Jesus, we will have eternal life in heaven.
