A recent question was asked: couldn't God have created us with freewill without there being evil?
My response: I can only think that God could have created angels and man with a very limited free will in which they could not have disobeyed with the resulting evils, but it is not the world he created.
Angels and man were created with the ability to know and do evil.
Whether we like it or not.
But, He has also provided for deliverance from the consequences of evil, but it won't be fully realized until the new creation.
What's interesting is how what happens in this life is what shapes our identity--who we are.
If we have the salvation that comes through Christ, we will spend eternity with people who are likewise saved and have their own unique past life experiences that had a role in shaping their identity—who they were/ are.
