God Didn’t ‘Create’ Evil… So Where Did It Come From?

About this sermon

When God is loving and powerful, but the world is full of evil and suffering, it raises questions we can’t just shrug off. 🌍💔 In this video, we unpack what evil actually is, why it’s better understood as the absence of good rather than a “thing” God created, and how that ties into free will, love, and our own choices. We’ll explore: • Why evil is like a shadow that depends on the existence of light 🌗 • How real love requires genuine freedom, not robotic coercion 💞 • Why a loving God must allow the freedom to rebel if He’s going to allow the freedom to love 🚫 • How God gives us both freedom and clear guidelines, and what happens when we ignore them 📖 • Why so much of the evil and suffering we see flows from human decisions rather than a lack of goodness or power in God 🧠 If you’ve ever asked, “If God is good, why is the world this broken?” this conversation is designed to help you think clearly, biblically, and honestly about evil, suffering, and the love of God. ✝️ 📚 Get my book: God’s Crime Scene Investigate the “crime scene” of the universe and see how the evidence points beyond the room of the natural world to a divine suspect: http://amzn.to/2kAroVD 🎥 God’s Crime Scene Small Group Curriculum Go deeper with your group or class using the video curriculum: • RightNow Media – search: “God’s Crime Scene” • Amazon Prime Video – search: “God’s Crime Scene” 🌐 Explore more at Cold Case Christianity Articles, videos, and resources for making the case for Christianity: https://coldcasechristianity.com 👍 If this video helps you wrestle more honestly with God, evil, and suffering, please LIKE the video, SUBSCRIBE, and turn on the notification bell so you don’t miss future content. 💬 Comment below: What’s the hardest example of evil or suffering you struggle to reconcile with God’s love?
