EVIL

INTRODUCTION: MANY QUESTION WHY EVIL EXISTS. MANY GIVE ANSWERS FROM A HUMANISTIC VIEWPOINT. SOME SIMPLY DENY THE EXISTENCE OF EVIL. THIS STUDY ADDRESSES EVIL FROM A BIBLICAL REALITY.

READ ISAIAH 6: 1-3

SPIRITUAL INSIGHT: ISAIAH 6:3 (NASB) AND ONE CALLED OUT TO ANOTHER AND SAID, “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, IS THE LORD OF HOSTS, THE WHOLE EARTH IF FULL OF HIS GLORY.

AMPLIFIED BIBLE: ISAIAH 6:3 AND ONE CRIED TO ANOTHER AND SAID, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, IS THE LORD OF HOSTS; THE WHOLE EARTH IF FULL OF HIS GLORY!

GOD’S BASIC NATURE IS HOLINESS! HIS HOLINESS DEMANDS REACH ALL MANKIND WHETHER SAVED OR UNSAVED. ISAIAH EXPERIENCED THAT REALITY FIRST HAND!

PHILIPPIANS 2:10 (NASB) SO THAT AT THE NAME OF JESUS EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, OF THOSE WHO ARE IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH AND UNDER THE EARTH.

GENESIS 1: 27 (NASB) GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE, IN THE IMAGE OF GOD HE CREATED HIM, MALE AND FEMALE HE CREATED THEM.

WITHOUT QUESTION, GOD CREATED MAN AND WOMAN IN HIS IMAGE. HE DESIRED THEM TO OBEY HIM AND MAKE GOOD CHOICES. . UNFORTUNATELY, THEIR CHOICE WAS DISOBEDIENCE. THEY WERE CAST OUT OF THE GARDEN OF EDEN. READ GENESIS 3: 24-25.

APPLICATION: GOD MADE A WAY THROUGH JESUS CHRIST TO REDEEM LOST MAN. READ JOHN 3: 16-17. GOD DEMANDS HOLINESS IN EVERY BORN AGAIN BELIEVER! READ 1 PETER 1: 13-16.
