Everything in the universe was created for God’s pleasure. He has a plan, and He will accomplish it. No one else can take credit for what He did. He alone is worthy of receiving honor and glory.
God has always known there was the potential for good and evil, righteousness and wickedness. Nevertheless, before he created anything, He already had the plan for redemption in place. God knows the end and the beginning, and He can make everything that happens work for His eternal purpose.
Our responsibility is to trust Him and walk in the way of love, just like Jesus did. If we want to honor Him, we must believe He exists and submit to His authority.
Jesus taught us that the only way to overcome evil is to do what is right in His sight. We can forgive, show mercy, do justly, and separate ourselves from the world’s ways. We honor God when we live His way.
