How Evil Entered the World?

Genesis 1:31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good (Hebrew: Perfectly complete and fully good with nothing broken or missing). And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. New International Version 

God Created Man and the Angels with a Free Will and a Free Will Carries the Risk of Disobedience and Rebellon Which Allowed for Evil to Enter the World 

God Allowed the Possibility of Evil Because He Chose Relationship Over Control

Some of the Evil in Our World Comes from Mankind 

Romans 5:12 When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. New Living Translation

Galatians 5:19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, …New Living Translation 

Galatians 5:20 …idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, 21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living (NKJV Practice, Greek: This is in the present active participle which means to continually practice as a pattern of life with no remorse.) that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. New Living Translation 

Galatians 5:22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! New Living Translation

Romans 8:22 For we know that even the things of nature, like animals and plants, suffer in sickness and death as they await this great event. Living Bible 

The World is not as God Created It-It is as Sin has Affected It

Some of the Evil in Our World is the Result of Human and Mechanical Error  

Ecclesiastes 10:9 Whoever quarries stones may be injured by them; whoever splits logs may be endangered by them. New International Version 

Some of the Evil in Our World Comes from Our Enemy

We must understand that God is growing us through adversity and He is working in all things, even the bad, for OUR GOOD! 

Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. New International Version 

Romans 5:3 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. 4 And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. New Living Translation‍
