Some Things God Can’t Do!

If God is truly good, why do we face suffering and evil in the world? It’s one of life’s big questions, isn’t it?

Let’s assume for a moment that God is indeed all-powerful. That would mean He can do anything… but only if it’s logically possible. After all, God can create entire galaxies, the tiniest subatomic particles, lush rainforests, and YOU. However, even with all that power, God cannot do something that defies logic. He can’t make a square circle or a stick with only one end. These things are contradictions—they simply can’t exist.

So, when people ask, “Can God make a rock so big that He can’t lift it?” the answer is no, because such a thing would be logically impossible. And God doesn’t deal in contradictions.

Now, think about this: What if God’s plan in creating human beings included the gift of freedom? Freedom, after all, is a beautiful thing. But here’s the catch—if God wanted us to have true freedom, He couldn’t force us to always obey Him. That wouldn’t be freedom at all; it would be the same as trying to create a square circle. No real choice means no real freedom.

God didn’t want to create a world of robots who mechanically followed orders. He wanted to create real people, with the capacity to make choices.

Unfortunately, with that incredible gift of free will came the potential for bad choices. And the first humans did just that. Their misuse of freedom set off a chain reaction, and we’ve been living with the consequences of bad choices ever since.

So, while God is responsible for giving us freedom, we are responsible for how we use it.

The Good News? God hasn’t abandoned us in our suffering. He’s promised to put an end to evil and pain one day. In the meantime, He’s not just watching from afar—He became one of us, stepping into our world to suffer alongside us.

Yes, God is good. He longs for a real relationship with real people—people like you. But here’s the thing: the choice to know Him is still yours.
