Why is God's grace essential for understanding evil in the world?

Answered in 1 source

God's grace restrains evil in human hearts and prevents constant chaos.

The sermon highlights that true believers understand the wickedness that can reside within every human heart and recognize that it is only by God’s restraining grace that people do not act upon their worst instincts. This perspective fosters humility and a recognition of the need for continual reliance on God's grace for moral restraint. When evil acts occur in the world, believers do not exclaim disbelief but rather acknowledge that, apart from grace, they too are capable of great sin. This view promotes a deep appreciation for God's mercy towards those He has chosen to save.
