Without looking at the video (to quiz myself...ha) I will say evil gives us a choice between the two....good and evil. Whom we wish to serve. By that choice, it tells God where our heart truly lies....with Him....or against Him. Tells Him if we love Him and our level of obedience will be effected by choice, depending on how much we love Him and how serious we take our commitment.
It also can serve to remind us of why and how much, we need Jesus. And helps us see the reality of this world. How much God loves us and the lengths He went to, to prove it.
It also serves to draw us to Jesus when bad things happen to us personally, because the first thing that happens to most, when we're scared for our lives, is call on Jesus.
It also makes us appreciate and grateful for the good and beautiful things in our life and especially the degree of Christ's sacrifice, and our salvation experience. Thankful we don't have to go to Hell.
Now I'll go see how I did. But I know even if I missed something, all the above is true. Without evil, we'd never know or appreciate the good in this world.
