God, being loving, created free-will beings and gave them the freedom to live for or against Him. However, with God also being just and unable to ignore evil that occurs against Him, it seems as if He had a dilemma. Therefore, God had a secret plan that solved this dilemma and it was resolved when Jesus went to the cross. The implications of the cross shows the watching universe the goodness of God through His rescued people, and it disarms any accusations that God cannot be trusted.
