As if we, God, and Satan are all equal players in a game for the world. It’s that in the universe God has chosen to actualize, love is the highest value, and love demands a choice, and a choice demands freedom. So God has chosen to limit his overwhelming capacity to override any “will” stacked against him, in order to create space for real, genuine freedom for his creatures, human and nonhuman. And evil is the by-product of that freedom that God built into the fabric of the universe. Put simply, God is incredibly good, but the world is a terrifyingly free, dangerous, beautiful place to call home.50”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "John Mark Comer" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/john-mark-comer/to-clarify-it-s-not-that-god-s-will-is-weak-on-an-even-playing-field/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e50/john-mark-comer-22484_freedom_to-clarify-it-s-not-that-god-s-will-is-w_1394531.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e50/john-mark-comer-22484_freedom_to-clarify-it-s-not-that-god-s-will-is-w_1394531.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e50/john-mark-comer-22484_freedom_to-clarify-it-s-not-that-god-s-will-is-w_1394531.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“To clarify, it’s not that God’s will is weak—on an even playing field with all the other wills.
