No other person has so accurately defined and diagnosed the evil of mankind and the sinfulness within as Jesus.
"For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander." Matt 15:19
"For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly." Mark 7:21-22
Why is this so important to define?
We are afraid to define any sense of right and wrong for fear of becoming unpopular or "judgmental'. There is so much evil in the world that we often try to ignore it because we don't know how to handle it, we don't know what to do with it and we don't know how to solve it. The result of ignoring the evil of mankind is a failure to see the need for a savior.
