232 Why Does God Hem People Into Their Disobedience - Rod Mills

Why is God allowing wickedness to grow so grossly, so devastatingly, in the earth? Romans 11:30-32 says that God commanded them all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all the same peoples and that he might extend mercy to them. God does not force anyone to receive mercy. He greenhouses them in their sin, in order that it the sin multiplies rapidly. And they see the evil of their own hearts enough to recognize their need for repentance, for deliverance, for redemption, because all of us are right in our own eyes.
