Live 4 The LORD

Where does Evil Come From?

SIN IS IN OUR HEART:

PSALM 36:1-4

Wrongdoing speaks to the ungodly within his heart;

There is no fear of God before his eyes.

For it flatters him in his own eyes

Concerning the discovery of his wrongful deed and the hatred of it.

The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit;

He has ceased to be wise and to do good.

He plans wickedness on his bed;

He sets himself on a path that is not good;

He does not reject evil.

THESE ARE SINS THAT COME FROM WITHIN:

Mark 7:21-23

For from within, out of the hearts of people, come the 

evil thoughts, 

acts of sexual immorality, 

thefts, 

murders, 

acts of adultery, 

deeds of greed, 

wickedness, 

deceit, 

indecent behavior, 

envy, 

slander, 

pride, and 

foolishness. 

All these evil things come from within and defile the person.

PEOPLE LOVE DARKNESS AND EVIL NOT LIGHT AND TRUTH

John 3:19-21

And this is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light; for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, so that his deeds will not be exposed. But the one who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds will be revealed as having been performed in God.”
