"For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so...righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad" (2 Nephi 2:11). The purpose of this mortal life is to obtain a physical body and be tested to see if we will do the will of our Heavenly Father. By choosing to do His will we can progress and become more like Him. In order for this to happen we must have agency, the ability to choose good or evil. If He did not allow evil then we would not know the good and in turn not be able to exercise faith in Him.
