While talking to people about the reasons behind the Sandy Hook shooting, we tried to dig down deep to find the root problem. Many people said the main problem was mental illness or bullying, but the root problem of what makes people do bad things is their own evil nature. Romans 5:12, which says “Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned—”, makes it clear that people are sinful and that is their main problem. Mental illness, bullying, and everything else are just symptoms of that inner evil in mankind. However, we are not without hope. As Romans 5 continues, it talks about the free gift of righteousness leading to eternal life which can be found only by grace in Christ Jesus.
The following audio involves discussions of the problem of evil, what makes a person good or evil, and its effect on the world.
