Understand Evil

To understand evil, one must first understand God.

1. God Himself is good. (Psalm 11:7)
2. God created a world that fell due to man's sin. (Romans 5:12)
3. God will recreate the world without any evil. (Revelation 21:1)
4. God is stronger than evil. (Matthew 13:41-43 & Revelation 19:11-21)
5. God controls evil and helps us overcome it. (Matthew 11:28-30)
6. God uses everything for His good purposes. Even evil. (Genesis 50:20 & Romans 8:28)

These are the most important things we need to know about evil.
