Dear Editor,
The majority of people in the world believe that human nature is basically good.
The facts are, if you believe that you have just deceived yourself. In fact, by making such a statement you are saying we do not need God.
Originally, human nature was perfect by virtue of having been created so by God. But that goodness was marred by the sin of Adam and Eve.
That sin (curse) we inherited from Adam and Eve.
Reality is that the moment all humans are born and without committing one sin intentionally we are all on the highway to hell.
That is exactly why Christ came and died to establish grace. No human being had the capability of saving their self.
The nature of humans has these attributes: lust, jealousy, hatred, covertness, murder, deceit, envy, lying, theft, rape, homosexuality, pedophilia and adultery, betrayal.
Be honest with yourself, how is that good? God gives us a mind and a heart to reason, but look at the destruction in the world today.
You see the reality, our nature is destructive. Give a normal person a lot of money, the first thing he or she loves to do is to commit more sin.
Humans love sinful pleasures and power, we lust for it and live for it. Some humans believe their education is their God. That is idolatry.
Listen to the news on TV and radio, the normal statement is education is the key.
That is not true. How is it that the educated people produce the most destruction in the world today? The idiot cannot make a nuclear bomb. The idiot cannot devise a plan to overthrow government or to create havoc in the world. Education without God becomes more destructive.
Romans 1:22: Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
Because very brilliant people believe they are their own God, and they do not need God, In the last days knowledge will increase but morality will decrease.
This reality creates more destructive nature.
Education has nothing to do with being good. Because man’s passion is to have pleasure and money and power, that nature makes it more difficult for him or her to confess sin, repent and turn away from sin. Human nature is sinful and will continue to sin if he or she does not desire to have a passion for Christ.
Some people say it is the environment, the facts are that is not true. Adam and Eve were made perfect and were in a perfect environment and by one sin (a choice they made), disobedience, look what the world has come to. You see, my people, there is nothing basically good about human nature. That is why we need Christ, without Christ we are doomed forever and ever.
The conclusion is Jeremiah 17:9: The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
