The reality of evil and suffering challenges the Christian faith in the existence and providence of God. Today, Christian faith is challenged by incomprehensible absurdities and horrible disasters in the world. In this paper, I try to make a theological understanding of the origin of evil and the way to overcoming it. The focus of this paper is not on the problem of theodicy itself, that is, that of the justice of God who is both omnipotent and infinitely good in the reality of evil. The purpose of this paper is to confirm in the new way the way towards the overcoming and conquest of evil, for which the investigation of the origin of evil is a prerequisite. The origin of evil is investigated with regards to the themes like “creation and human beings,” “sin,” and “evil and suffering.” In the next, the overcoming of evil is investigated under the subtitles “God’s providence,”“God’s suffering in Jesus Christ,” and “Christians’ suffering in Jesus Christ.”In this paper, it is argued that the power of evil which causes suffering to human beings is overcome and conquered by the self-suffering love of God in Jesus Christ which was uniquely manifested on the cross and followed by the resurrection. And it is also stressed that Christians are called to participate in the self-suffering love of God in Jesus Christ through the discipleship of practice, even though the final resolution and conquest of evil and suffering will be ultimately fulfilled by God Himself in the eschatological future.
