If God, Why Evil?

 

Today's verse is Isaiah 31:2

     Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil,

      And will not call back his words:

      But will arise against the house of the evildoers,

      And against the help of them that work iniquity.

    A question often asked: “If God, Why evil?” Know now and see from the verse above that evil is the Judgment of God upon a wicked world that knows him not, that seek him not. Another might ask, “How is this a message of comfort, of encouragement?” Because now, when you see the evil, you can now know that God has not forgotten, but has as Paul has told us, given such people over to their own lusts, to reap the reward of their own desires. “But what of those that suffer, who are counted righteous by God?” You might ask. Did not Jesus Christ our Savior do the same? Are you better then he? When Jesus suffered at the hands of the wicked, did he not provide for us, as well as them, a way to be made acceptable to the Most Holy and Righteous Father? And are we not promised that if we suffer with Christ, that we would not only be heirs with him, but Joint Heirs to the Son of God. So, if your suffering by the hands of the wicked might bring one more to the knowledge of the Savior, will you be willing to do it. Selah [Consider this question.] Amen.

To God be the Glory
