Problem: The Bible teaches that God loves the world (Jn. 3:16), but he allows people to get into sin.
Solution: This is an answer for the Problem of Evil. Paul states that the existence of evil is the result of human freewill and our rejection of our Creator. God loves people, but he also values their freewill. Forced love is not love; it’s rape. God gives people freewill, and he allows them to choose against him. In theology, this is called the passive wrath of God. God’s passive wrath is not from him putting his hands on; instead, it is from him taking his hands off. He lets us go choose our future for ourselves. God values freewill, because this allows people to freely choose to receive eternity with him.
“Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; (Rom 1:24-28)
