Our God is not the author of the things that evil men do. If you will recall, when the LORD looked upon the earth in the time of Noah, He found that every imagination of man was evil continually. Like Eve did, and Adam, they had allowed themselves to be deceived and in rebellion by the lust of their own desires, walking in opposition to God. The LORD had sent them to reign and rule, living in the earth by their own conscience choice and wisdom given of the creator, He was expecting them to respond in appreciation to all that God had given to bring mankind a good and enjoyable life upon the earth. Instead of them living in praise for favor from God, they gave themselves over to all of the evil that they could find and was taught by the enemy. Even Solomon said that he with-held nothing from himself yet though it was vanity and vexation of spirit. Therefore, the LORD in great sorrow made the decision to wipe mankind of the face of the earth in a flood. Only Noah and his family survived. What was the difference? One group lived in obedience and respect for God’s ordinances, and the other, though the greater majority, lived according to their own desires and judgment. You see, we are responsible for our own actions as well as all others persons on this earth.
Our responsibility is to live in praise of God, for only God is good, as Jesus said. By these things we will receive a good reward. All are free to decide. Since the beginning, God has shown that those who walked beneath His Lordship, are the ones who reap His rewards.
Every man’s work will be brought to judgment, all will answer for their decisions and you will only have to answer for your own. There is no need to say, why would a loving god, when heinous actions are not committed by God, but by ungodly people.

Noah was rescued in the time of trouble for honoring the LORD, and those who did not honor the LORD were swept away In the end, the righteous shall inherit more than they can they can imagine. as Adam found out in Genesis.

Our gifts and greater reward and retribution belong majorly to eternity. This is when a loving God will take full action. Remember, it did rain.
