The world is upside down. Our world in which we live is spiritually (as well as morally and in many other respects) upside down. What does this mean?   Since the fall into sin by our ancestor Adam and Eve, the result of mankind’s actions is the opposite of what God desires. The world does the opposite of what God commands us in His Word. Since then, things have been “turned upside down”. There is disorder, a spiritual, moral, and social chaos. It seems that we are going further and further than God commands us.   Isaiah 5:20 says: ” Woe to those who call evil good     and good evil, who put darkness for light     and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet     and sweet for bitter! How to solve this problem? God’s answer is the gospel.
