The Sovereign God

Why Does God Allow Evil? Series

By Dr. David Burrows , March 01, 2026

Isaiah 46.8-11

God allows evil to exist, even if it doesn’t make sense to us.

We must have confidence in God, that He is always in control and He is always loving and powerful.

Is God In Control?

How Can I Understand God’s Sovereignty?

All evil exists because of humanity’s rebellion against God.

Nothing that happens frustrates God or His plans. He is always in control.

At some point you must trust that God is both powerful and loving.
You must accept some degree of mystery and uncertainty.

Good and evil are opposites to some degree. But they are never equal.

Sometimes God uses evil to accomplish His plans.

God always loves you. Jesus is the ultimate evidence of that love.
