If
God exist why is there so much evil in the world? God is said to be the creator
of all things, but evil is not and will never be caused by Him. According to 2
Cor. 4:4; John 10:10; 1 John 3:8, “Satan brings the death and destruction, not
God”. Therefore evil is caused by Satan.
The
Bible says in James 1:13-14, “God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt
anyone; but each one is tempted when, by His own evil desire, He is dragged
away and enticed”. God did indeed created us but He doesn’t fully controls our
mind. Aside from Satan, evil starts from ourselves, our own sins, greed,
temptations, and rebellious personality. For the meantime, it’s like rejecting
God, his ways, and setting aside what is right to meet our wants. Like for
example, a person just saw someone dropped their money accidentally but instead
of returning it back he was tempted to steal and kept it for his own benefit.
According
to Gal. 6:7; Pr. 12:14; Pr. 22:8, “What a man sow, he will reap”. After we cause
evil, there will always be suffering. Evil is caused by man’s action and not by
God so why blame it on Him? Is it because we are looking for someone to blame?
There will be God and there will be evil, but He will not be the one to cause
it. The evil in the world depends on mankind, just be faithful and don’t give
in to evil.
