Choose Good or Evil
Our Verse: Genesis 3:6 “Eve took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband...and he ate it too.”
As we look at the world today, we see disaster, tragedy, suffering. Deep within, we struggle to understand it all. Why is there so much evil and suffering in the world? God tells us the answer to this in the book of Genesis. We can identify the exact moment when sin came into the world. By sin we mean an act of disobedience to what God said.
In God's design of the world, He allowed a tree to grow which produced a special kind of fruit. When people ate the fruit, it empowered them to perceive two things, all good and all evil. This “good and evil” tree was placed in the garden to give men a choice- a choice to do good or a choice to disobey. God instructed Adam and Eve to eat from all the trees in the garden except this one. He warned them what would happen if they did.
God is the ultimate Chooser. Whatever He wants, He can do. He designed us humans to be like Himself, able to choose. This is why the good and evil tree was created and placed in the Garden.
People worldwide can choose good or evil. Their choices make our world the place it is today. God allows these choices for a time. There will come a perfect moment in world history when every person, man, woman and child will have chosen. The next moment after that, God will complete His work to redeem the world. He will make it totally new. All the bad choices will be forever gone and good choices will be the only desire of those living on the earth. The God story has a truly amazing, happy and complete ending. Then a whole New Story will begin, one we talk about in other Mountain episodes. Dont miss that Story!
