How do we know God's goodness if He allows evil?

Answered in 1 source

God's goodness is demonstrated through His ultimate sovereignty over all creation, including the existence of evil.

God’s goodness can sometimes appear paradoxical in light of evil's existence, but Scripture teaches that God is sovereign over all things, including evil. As stated in Isaiah 45:7, God proclaims, 'I create evil.' This indicates His complete control over the moral fabric of the universe. While humanity may view these truths with confusion, they highlight that God's ultimate purpose is good, even when we do not understand the circumstances. Romans 8:28 reinforces this by teaching that God works all things for the good of those who love Him, showing that His goodness prevails, even through trials.
