Since
God created all
things, does not in any way suggest that
evil must have originated with God.
God is light and in Him is no darkness
at all (1
John 1:5) it is true
that all God created was good.
One
of the many good things God made
was creatures who had the freedom to
choose good. God allowed both
angels and humans to choose good or
reject good (evil).
As darkness is the absence of light...
evil is the absence of good, or
better, evil is the absence or rejection
of God and His influence. God did not
have to create evil, but rather only
allow for the absence of good.
While God did not create evil, He does
allow evil as the result of choices made
by man. If God had not
allowed for the possibility of man and
angels choosing evil or rejecting Him,
both mankind and angels would be serving
God out of obligation, not choice.
As finite human beings, we can never
fully understand why an infinite God
would allow for the prospect of evil. (Romans
11:33-34).
God operates from a holy, eternal
purpose. We perceive things from a
soulish and temporal perspective.
Evil is a reality that originated with
Satan when He deemed himself more
significant and potentially powerful
than God. Satan has no raw
material. He can only take that
which God created and pervert it for his
own glory and benefit. Ultimately,
evil becomes a matter of fact in the
life of sinners and Christians when we
choose to yield to our fleshly
inclinations for self preservation
and/or glorification (Genesis
3).
Fortunately, there is a remedy for
evil. It is exclusively the gospel
of Jesus Christ. Grace will always
be greater than evil.
Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Belanger
