How do we know that inequality is part of God's design?
Answered in 1 source
Inequality reflects the God's providential order, as evidenced by the varied circumstances and abilities among people.
The parable indicates that universal equality is unattainable in this fallen world due to inherent differences among people, such as wisdom, strength, and health. As J.C. Ryle points out, attempting to forcibly equalize conditions results in the same disparities re-emerging over time. These differences are not indicative of divine injustice; rather, they affirm the reality that God has created a world where inequality exists due to the effects of sin and the fall. It is through such acknowledgment that believers can understand the true nature of our existence under God's providence.
