Why does bad things happen to the Redeemed of God?

I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. (John 17:15 ESV) In Jesus' prayer to His Father just before His crucifixion, He makes it clear that we (the redeemed) are not to be taken out of the world. Then the same author writes, ...the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. (1 John 5:19b ESV) This can seem as a paradox when evil unleashes its power on the children of God. Why can't we be delivered? Why can't we be protected. Answer: 1. We are to be a witness in good times and bad. 2. Forgiven does not mean extracted from sin at least not immediate, we will when it is the perfect time of God. The yielding to the lies of the evil one is what caused and causes sin. We must persevere by faith until it is time for us to be delivered from the curse we submitted to. Encouragement? Jesus knew, Jesus knows, Jesus cares, Jesus is always and will always be with us because He is our great Advocate to the perfect, holy God.
