Romans 5:12 King James Version
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”
Many people argue specially the atheists say that if God is perfect and loving then why do people suffer, have diseases, deformities, and eventually die? Why we live in a world full of disasters, plagues and wars, if God is perfect and loving this should not be so. These people may not have read the Bible nor understand it. God did made the world and us perfect in the beginning, we were meant to live forever because we were made in the image of God, but because Adam and Eve chose to sin, we and the world are reaping its consequences even until now.
God is Perfect, in that He is Holy and Just, He cannot allow sin into Heaven, so sin must be judge and punish, but God is also Loving that He provided us a way out of the eternal punishment in Hell through His Son Jesus Christ
Romans 6:23 King James Version
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
But if they lived in the Old Testament then it’s through following the law, doing good works, and performing animal sacrifices to cover their sins but it’s not permanent until Jesus Christ died that we can now be saved through faith alone.
God loves each and everyone of us and does not delight for any sinner to go to Hell
Ezekiel 33:11 King James Version
“Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?”
2 Peter 3:9 King James Version
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”
Romans 5:8 King James Version
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Sin is so pervasive that it can ruin a nation just by the action of a person.”
Sin is so pervasive that it can ruin a nation just by the action of a person.
God commanded Israel to not take any of the accursed things from Jericho as spoils of war
Joshua 6:18 King James Version
“And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.”
But Achan didn’t heed this warning
Joshua 7:1 King James Version
“But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against the children of Israel.”
This led them to lose in the battle against Ai in Joshua 7:5 even though Israel outnumbered the men of Ai.
Joshua 7:11-12 King James Version
11 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.
12 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
King David disobeyed God in 2 Samuel 24:1 where he ordered Joab to number (perform a census) Israel and Judah which in Numbers 1:49 God commanded: “Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel:”. God sent prophet Gad to tell David which option will he choose as a consequence of his sin.
2 Samuel 24:13-15 King James Version
13 So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days' pestilence in thy land? now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
14 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the Lord; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.
15 So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men.
And even before that event David had an affair with Bathsheba and killed her husband Uriah by sending him in the most forefront of the battle (2 Samuel 11:15), God punished David by taking the life of his newborn son with Bathsheba (2 Samuel 12:10-19).
These disasters befell on the nation of Israel because of one man’s sin.
We see this reoccurring in the Bible whenever Israel sinned and turn their back from God, that they experience disaster, loss and conquered by their enemies. And we see that today, that more and more people are turning away from God His Word, the Bible and wilfully sin, that the world is becoming more chaotic, violent and disasters are more frequent just as the Bible prophesied.
Even though we’re no longer under the Law but Grace, we will still be reaping every evil deed that we did. Why we live in a fallen world, it's because of sin, and we should blame ourselves for it.
