What is God Going to do About Evil?

Many of us have been hurt by sins, wrongs, the evil of others. In a world where there is freedom for us to choose to hurt others, we will get hurt. So what is God going to do about this? If He loves us, shouldn't He just go ahead and get rid of all evil?  

The answers lie in a parable told by Jesus, "the parable of the wheat and the tares" (also known as "the parable of the wheat and the weeds"). In this story we will see how the owner of a field (i.e., Jesus) had his field sabotaged by an enemy (i.e., the devil), who sowed bad seed among the owner's good. Thus the owner had a choice to make - get rid of the tares immediately or let both the wheat and the tares (i.e., the good and bad people) grow together. Fortunately for us, Jesus explains which He chose, why He chose it, and what will ultimately happen to those who follow Satan instead of God.
