Evil is a
word that is thrown around a lot. How could a good God allow evil in the world.
This is a question a lot of people ask and are curious about. When humanity
starts to think they know what is best for themselves or everyone around them,
and do not care about what Gods will or desire is, is it such a surprise that
evil is as real, present and gratuitous as it is? Because God truly loves us,
He gives us a choice to follow Him and love Him back. In order to have true
relational love, one needs to have a choice in the matter. Once a person is
given a choice they can either choose to love God or love themselves. If a
person loves themselves more than they love God, then it becomes an act of
selfishness. Acts of selfishness are the opposite of what God desires humanity
to be. Selfishness leads an individual to only caring about what happens to
them or what they can gain. Selfishness in turn has a downward spiraling effect
that destroys relationships. Acts of kindness and love are what we have to have
with one another and God, and if not, then this is what one could classify or
call evil as.
