This week's illustration is a 'Sin Cursed World'; with a Bible verse illustration: 'Romans 8:22.'
The Romans 8:22 illustration is to remind us that the world we're living in today is not the world God made. It is a groaning world because of sin. Although we see beauty in this world, we also see ugliness. We see life, but we also see death. We see health, but we also see disease.
It is only the Bible's account of a perfect world marred by sin that explains
why this world is the way it is. Therefore, Christians shouldn't tell
non-Christians that this is a beautiful world God made. We can tell them
that there is a 'remnant' of beauty in this fallen creation. The venomous
animals, stinging plants, disease-causing bacteria, etc. were not this
way before sin. Everything has changed because man rebelled against God.
This is a very, very important point because one of the most-asked questions
from non-Christians is, 'How can there be a God of love when there's all
this death, disease, suffering, and violence in the world?' We need to
explain to them that this was not the world as God made it. It's not God
who's responsible for this mess. We are responsible because we all sinned
in Adam.
