Does God Allow Evil?
Please contact us if you have questions or if you need some encouragement.
Have you ever paused to ponder the intriguing question of why God allows evil? It’s a question that has stumped countless individuals, making it difficult for them to believe in God’s inherent goodness truly. They find themselves grappling with the notion of how a good God could possibly permit such terrible suffering to exist without intervening. However, let me shed some light on this question for you. At the core of it all lies an overwhelming love that God harbors for us: His cherished creation. This profound affection compels Him to grant us the extraordinary gift of free will – the ability to choose between right and wrong. Imagine if we were mere automatons programmed by our creator, devoid of any capacity for wrongdoing or misjudgment. Our existence would lack purpose and authenticity, void of genuine interactions with one another or God Himself.
From the very beginning, when Adam and Eve found themselves amidst paradise in the Garden of Eden, untainted by sin’s presence, God yearned for a true relationship with humanity. Sadly, we faltered, succumbing to temptation as we partook from the forbidden tree against His explicit commandment. The consequential entry of sin into our world was not brought upon us by divine intervention but rather through our own actions – we alone are responsible for disrupting harmony and introducing evil into this once pristine realm created out of boundless love. While it is undeniably true that even though God is all-powerful and controls everything, the free will He gave us overrules the result of sin and evil in our world. ~ Bill Greguska
