Suffering
Why does God allow evil?
Published Reviewed
This is the 'problem of evil'—how can a good, all-powerful God permit evil? Scripture doesn't fully explain but offers truths: God created free beings who chose sin; He works even evil for good (Genesis 50:20); evil is temporary; justice will come. God entered our suffering in Christ and will ultimately end all evil.
Why this answer? It starts with Romans 8:28, then cross-checks Genesis 50:20 and Revelation 21:4 so the summary stays anchored in Scripture.
What does Romans 8:28 say?
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”
