A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but
the simple pass on, and are punished. (Pro 27:12)
The age old argument that God created everything including
that which is evil, therefore some conclude that God is ultimately the source
of evil thus choose to reject Him. God did create both the devil and mankind
and the truth is that all of God’s creation was created good. God also gave
freedom to both man and angels to choose to follow or to rebel against Him.
Rebellion gives birth to evil because of the abuse of the God given freedom.
Freedom allows us to make choices at the fork in the road.
Abstain from all appearance of evil. (1Th 5:22)
The consequences of making the wrong choices can be avoided, we cannot deny the principle of reaping what we sow (Gal 6:7). God may
not force choices on us, even if He does nobody can prevent a rebellious heart.
Don’t test the boundaries of morality, don’t even go near. Don’t taste and see
to know its flavor. Driving our morality near the boundary of evil is like
testing God. Choices reflect the true
heart condition and the apostle warns us not to deceive ourselves and that God
cannot be mocked.
