The impact of Covid-19 on the family, socio-cultural life and the transformation of spiritual life

Abstract

When God created everything, He said “this is good” and indeed all that He created was good. (Genesis 1 vs 31) The man was put in charge of all these good creatures to keep them and take care of everything. When we read through the scriptures and come across these verses in the Book of Genesis, someone is tempted to ask, are the challenges we face today the creation of the same God who created wonderful and good things? One may ask, are these pandemics the good creations of God? Some may ask, where is God in all these pandemics? This is a million-dollar question. Life is made up of a mixture of both good and bad things, happy and sad moments, and ups and downs, this is the journey of life. God is present in all these situations and He invites us to see Him in the calamities we
encounter in our day-to-day lives. In this paper, I am going to put my focus on the Covid 19 pandemic, how it has affected the world, and how people are going through their lives faced with this pandemic.
