Why Does God Allow Evil?
If God doesn't like sin why did he create the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil? or If God hates sin, why did he allow something that could cause sin to happen?
This is a great question and often is asked when I'm witnessing to someone about the goodness of God.
The most important thing in the entire universe is the glory of God.
If there were no sin, there would be no forgiveness and God wants to display His forgiveness.
He wants to display His mercy. He wants to display His kindness.
He wants to display His grace. He wants to show He is a saving God.
He wants to display His holiness, and he wants to display his holiness to the degree that he wants to display his right to judge evil.
“The Lord hath made all things for Himself, yea, even the wicked for the day of evil." Proverbs 16:4 KJV
How Can God Do All of That If Evil Doesn't Exist?
So there is a sense in which God has to allow evil in the world, to put His glory on display in it's fullest sense.
Everything in the end is for the glory of God, for His glory.
So that he can put His glory on display, not only to us, but to the holy angels as well.
Also, if God were to punish evil today, a lot of people would perish.
God wants people to be saved, he doesn't want to give justice just yet.
He is holding back, patiently waiting, not willing that anyone should perish.
“ The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9 NKJV

“I ordered the penny with the cross cut out and also ordered the cross that came out of the pennies. When my order came in the order was wrong and I got pennies with the cut out only, so I simply emailed the company and they shipped out the crosses at no extra cost and told me to just keep the wrong order as appreciation. This is a great company that takes care of it customer. I will share with friends and tell them about this company.Thank you for all your hard work.”
