Evil’s Ultimate Purpose
Evil’s ultimate purpose is to show the glory of God to His creation in a way that would not be possible otherwise. If we try and read The Bible seeing us as the main character we miss the point of the story. Focusing on Paris in Romeo & Juliet without realizing who the main characters really are will lessen the impact of the story. And when we cry about evil, which we should, and focus on the creation in the story, we miss the lesson of the story from the Creator.
