K N O W Exodus 1 : 16 (God's love)

Why does God allow evil? This is a hard one. First, understand that God did not create evil. He created humanity in His image and placed Adam and Eve in a perfect paradise. They were given the ability to decide whether they would do right or wrong. They chose badly and decided to rebel. So why didn’t God create human beings incapable of sinning? God wants us to love Him voluntarily, because we choose to, not robotically or under constraint. Nothing warms the heart of a parent more than to hear a child voluntarily come up and say, “I love you!” God wants the same thing. We bring much evil on ourselves because we disregard God’s Word. But God also allows, for now, a general evil in the world as a result of the Fall that produces hardships, yet which ultimately can bring glory to His name (John 9:3). For more about God’s Love, see Num. 6:24, 25; Sin, Exod. 2:14.
