Goodness of God

The Goodness of God refers to the belief that God is inherently kind, loving, and just. In the context of theodicy, which explores why a good God permits suffering and evil, this concept challenges us to understand how suffering fits into a larger divine plan. The argument suggests that while pain and injustice exist, they do not negate God's goodness. Instead, they may serve a purpose, such as fostering personal growth, compassion, or deeper reliance on faith. Ultimately, it invites believers to reconcile their experiences of suffering with the belief in a benevolent deity.
