A Panoramic View of the Bible And What We Can Learn From It - 5

The whole Bible can be summarized with four words - creation, fall, redemption, restoration.
The Bible described creation in two chapters (Genesis 1:1 - 2:25).
The Bible described the fall in one chapter (Genesis 3:1 - 3:24).
The Bible described the restoration in one and a half chapters (Revelation 21:1-22:5).
The bulk of the Bible is about redemption.

What does the overview of the Bible tell us about the nature of evil?

1. Evil caused death;
2. Evil is so inextricably bound with good that when you remove evil, you remove some good, and when you do good, some evil came;
3. God has already a plan to put an end to evil and He is revealing it progressively.

Evil caused death
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23 KJV)

Evil is inextricably bound with good
There is something else meaningless that occurs on earth: the righteous who get what the wicked deserve, and the wicked who get what the righteous deserve. This too, I say, is meaningless. (Ecclesiastes 8:14 NIV)

God has a plan to end evil
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. (Genesis 3:15 KJV)
