If God is all powerful, how can He be good, since there is so much evil in the world? The first lie ever uttered attacked the character and nature of God. We read about it in Genesis 3. Satan tried to convince Eve that God was holding out on her, He did not have her best interests in mind: God's not good. Since then, this lie has been uttered to ever person who has ever lived. In this message, we address this lie and the associated theological issue of "the problem of pain." We will discover that circumstances do not determine God's goodness. Instead, God's goodness is revealed on the cross.
