How do we explain sin, suffering, and hell if God is really good and all-powerful?Christians and non-Christians alike have deep questions about God. Their beliefs about God, that he is good and all-powerful, do not mesh with what they see in the world, sin, suffering, and death. Moreover, they struggle to reconcile his goodness and power with the Bible’s teachings regarding the fall of man into sin and eternal judgment for the wicked in hell. How could a good and powerful God allow all of this?The core problem is not with the Bible’s teachings about God’s nature and attributes or the events that led to sin, suffering, death, and judgment. The problem is with what we believe about God’s purpose in creating the world in the first place. Without realizing it, we have adopted an errant view of God’s intent for the universe, and so we come to the wrong conclusions about his actions (or lack thereof) where issues like this are concerned.God’s Purpose in Creation is designed to clear up this confusion. In this short volume, the reader will learn the true reason God made the world and the implications of that truth on the fall, suffering, hell, and redemption. When seen in the light of God’s true plan for the universe, far from creating doubt about God, these questions provide a more complete insight into his glory than ever before. God’s Purpose in Creation will show you how.
