Summary: God is good and the ultimate standard for good. As with all ultimate standards, circular reasoning is involved in justifying this standard. But the alternative is human reason, and human beings do not agree on what is good nor do we have the authority of power to define what is good. Christians must use God’s word as their standard. The presence of evil has been argued to prove that God cannot be both good and omnipotent, but that argument is based on a false assumption. God allowed evil into his creation for his own greater glory in demonstrating his justice and mercy.<br> <br> http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/73-god-is-good/
