The Parable of the Weeds ~
So, why is the world the way it is? Well, God created the earth good - it was good seed in fertile soil - but the devil came in & wrecked havoc by introducing sin - the weeds. So, we now have good & evil coexisting in the world. Why doesn't God just get rid of the evil? It would destroy the good too. So, here we are, those who choose to follow & those who choose to go there own way. We will continue to coexist until Judgment Day. At that time, just like when the harvest is brought in, the good will be sorted from the evil.
Why do good and evil need to coexist? It's all about freewill, God allows us to choose Him. If He didn't allow this choice, we would be robots serving without relationship. & that's just not what God wants. He wants relationship. He created us to be in a relationship with Him & with others. So, freewill must exist.
How do you make sure you are wheat when the Judgment Day comes? Form a relationship with God. It's that simple. Believe He exists, believe His Son died for your sins, & listen to His teachings. There you go - you're wheat.
