How does God's glory relate to the existence of evil?

Answered in 1 source

God's glory is revealed even through the existence of evil as part of His sovereign plan.

The existence of evil serves a purpose in the broader narrative of God's glory and sovereignty. As highlighted in the sermon, God made everything, including evil, for His glory. In Proverbs 16:4, it states, 'The Lord has made all things for himself; yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.' This means that God uses even the wicked actions to ultimately display His justice, righteousness, and grace. When we see God's redemptive work through flawed humanity, it magnifies His mercy and power. Hence, the acknowledgment of evil is crucial in understanding God's comprehensive plan, which ultimately leads to glorification through judgment and mercy.
