If the christian god is real and what's written in the bible is also real, then it's because of free will and because evil aka selfishness comes from god. He's the source and creator of all things. Humans were created in his image. I interpret that as god used himself as blueprint in how he created humans, everything from our range of emotions, intellect, fear of loneliness, positive and negatives traits (pride, kindness, lust, courage, etc) all came from him because he is those things.

 

I like to say that every believer creates God in his own image.

After all, no one consideres themselves to be evil. They may admit to have commited evil actions in the past, but their home-made god knows their reasoning behind those actions and knows how sincere their regret is.

And so, they conveniently are forgiven.
