"Let us know what you think."
Foundational QuestionDoes God have a choice when it comes to allowing sin? Couldn’t He just speak sin out of this world, given that God created the universe and everything in it? Why did God allow Sin into the world?
Summary
So the question we started with was, “Why does God allow sin”?
The answer is that it is necessary to perfect His will over mankind, which is to allow us to love and honor Him. Sin and evil are sadly necessary to show the opposite – our love for God and His love for us (John 3:16). Adam and Eve likely never understood the concept of love before their fall into sin. Free-will is not free if there are no good vs. bad choices. In Heaven, we will be without sin, but we will have a memory of it and how God offered us His Son as full payment for our sins. Our worship and love of God will emanate from what He did for us through His Son on the cross.
