We know that Judas betrayed Jesus but why did God allow Him to do this? We know that Pilate sentenced Jesus to death knowing He was innocent. But why did God allo0w him to do this? Where was God when all this happened? The answer to that question is as simple as taking a look in a mirror because you're the reason God allowed it. I'm the reason God allowed it. Romans 5:8 teaches us that God demonstrated His own love toward us in this - while we were sinners, Christ died in our place. 1 Corinthians 15 gives us the gospel, the Good News, when it says, that Christ died. But that's not it. The good news is not simply that Jesus died. Folks, listen. Death is not good news. Millions of men have died. The good news is that Christ died for our sins. That's the good news. That's why God allowed it to happen - so that you and I could have the opportunity to put our faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus, and when we do that, the Bible says the righteousness of Jesus is placed on our account and we are declared justified. We are forgiven. We are saved. We are guaranteed for heaven. That’s why God allowed it! We are why God allowed it.
