Evil
Evil: 1 John 3:8, "When anyone commits a sin, he has become the agent of the devil.”
Evil originated and existed before human history. The means by which it was transmitted from previous creature existence to human history is Satan himself. The word “Evil” refers specifically to the policy of Satan as the ruler of this world.
The origin of Evil is Satan's genius to devise a system to oppose God. Evil originated in angelic creation in the greatest creature to ever come from the hand of God.
Through Evil, Satan brings about two major consequences on earth: sin and human good (the motivation of Evil), both of which are based on errors in thinking. The sin of self-righteousness combined with human good or sincerity produces a saturation of Evil in a nation.
One of the main reasons for learning about Evil from the Bible is to learn that man cannot solve his problems by human solutions. Any effective solution to a human problem is a divine solution. And there is an answer in the Bible for every human need or problem.
