 If God is truly good, why doesn't he just wipe out all the evil in the world? It's a reasonable enough question. We see so much evil and wickedness in the world, people being taken advantage of, evil people rising into power, great atrocities taking place. Why can't God just wipe it out? Well, my question for you is why do you suppose that you would be excluded from that? Well, because I'm a good person. I take care of my family. We go to church occasionally. I walk old ladies across the street. I'll be good. It's easy to think that we're a good person when we compare ourselves to other people. But when we compare ourselves to God, we understand that we fall infinitely short of that definition of good. We really are no better than the people that we would have wiped out. But the good news is that regardless of what you've done, Jesus is welcoming you today into his family through his grace and sacrifice. You or I don't deserve to be a part of this, but God wants to adopt us as his children. When you let down the walls of your pride and humble yourself before God in faith, your identity changes from guilty to free. That's good news.
