A casual game night conversation led us down an unexpected theological rabbit hole, wrestling with one of faith's most profound questions: Why would a loving God create us, knowing we would sin? This question touches the very core of how we understand God's character and our purpose in His divine plan. Whether you're wrestling with tough questions or seeking deeper understanding, this episode offers a perspective that honors both our honest doubts and God's loving character. Some things we covered:

  • God values relationships, as shown in Genesis when He created humans in His image
  • Being made in God's image includes having free will, which makes our choices meaningful
  • The parent-child relationship provides insight—parents have children knowing they will disappoint
  • Free will creates the possibility of heartbreak but gives value to our choice to follow God
  • Like Job, our lives may demonstrate God's character to "rulers and authorities in heavenly places"
  • God's desire to "bring many sons to glory" shows His ultimate purpose is relationship

Join us weekly for more bite-sized biblical discussions that challenge your thinking and deepen your faith. Share with friends who might be asking similar questions.
