The lesson presents the problem of evil not as a logical contradiction to Christian theism, but as a psychological and existential challenge rooted in human rebellion, arguing that the very ability to recognize evil presupposes the existence of God. Using presuppositional apologetics, it demonstrates that unbelievers cannot consistently affirm evil without grounding it in the Christian worldview, which provides the necessary preconditions for moral absolutes, logic, and intelligibility. The argument shifts from a supposed intellectual objection to a call for repentance, showing that the unbeliever's demand for an explanation from God is itself an act of arrogance, replicating Eve's sin by seeking to judge God. The Christian response is not merely intellectual but deeply pastoral, emphasizing that God's justice is revealed in His sovereignty, that evil ultimately serves God's glory, and that faith—trusting God's goodness despite incomprehensible suffering—is the only proper human response. The sermon concludes that the problem of evil, far from undermining faith, actually proves God's existence and calls for a surrender of human authority to divine wisdom.
