What does the Bible say about the problem of evil?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God is sovereign over all things, including evil, and uses it for His glory and our good (Isaiah 45:5-7).

The issue of evil in the world is a profound question that many believers grapple with. According to Isaiah 45:5-7, God declares that He creates both light and darkness, peace and evil. This demonstrates His absolute sovereignty over all things, including the existence of evil. Evil is not outside of God's control; rather, it serves His wisdom and purpose. The scripture reveals that even the wicked are made for the day of evil, indicating that their actions fulfill part of God's divine decree. The presence of evil allows God's justice, mercy, wisdom, and power to be displayed in ways that would not be possible if evil did not exist.
