Together, we're breathing new life into health. Daily Edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.

This is a ministry of striving for eternity. So as the professing atheists try to argue that God cannot exist because of the fact that there's evil in the world, the question really comes into is, what is evil?

Well, we see where evil entered into the universe. If you take a look at what happened with Satan, this is seen in Isaiah 14, when

Satan chose to be prideful and argue that he would be as great as God and he fell.

That's when sin entered into the universe. We see when sin entered into humanity and brought a curse not only upon Adam and Eve, but also the entire earth.

In fact, the entire universe according to Romans 8. But that occurred in Genesis chapter 3 when

Adam and Eve were instructed not to partake of a certain fruit and they chose to disobey

God and to act as if they were God and they chose to disobey

God and partake of that fruit. They brought sin into the world and as our federal head, all of us suffer a sin nature because of their choice.

This is what brought sin into the world. It was something that God allowed. He could have stopped it if he wanted to, but then the atheists would complain,

God makes us into puppets and we don't have free choices. Well, the reality is

God allowed Adam and Eve to make a choice. He allowed them to do it knowing what they would choose and knowing that he would prepare a way of salvation for them.

We see that sin brought about evil. It was man's choosing, so atheists shouldn't blame

God for what they do. In fact, they still think that they are God and still want to be like God.
