@Mouseinthehouse Wickedness isn't caused or given by God and He gets the blame for it. Evil is not even in His character. Man put that on himself, through choice.
@Mouseinthehouse He gave man choice. History shows man never learns and that's why we see so much evil in this world, yet today. From it, we can see why we need Jesus. He did do something about it. He gave His life on the cross, to pay for our sins, though He never did any wrong. That's how much He loves us.
If it wasn't for Jesus covering our sins and paying for them on the cross, everyone would have had to pay their own sin debt, but no one can, having sin in them, which keeps us separated from God... UNTIL we come to Jesus and have our sins forgiven. Only a perfect, sinless sacrifice would do, thus...Jesus. if He hadn't volunteered to pay for our sins, all of us would have been lost forever. With no way to communicate with God the Father in heaven. I'm very grateful for His loving sacrifice. He didn't have to do that.
