No Good In Eternity!

 No Good In Eternity!

As I was laying waiting to fall sleep last night I started thinking about good and evil, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and that if there was no evil there would be no good.

I thought about Adam and Eve, they lived in a perfect Garden where there was no evil. Until they ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Nothing bad ever happened, we do not know how long they were in the Garden before they ate of that forbidden fruit. GOD brought every kind of animal for Adam to name, this must have taken some time. We know that they walked with GOD in the cool of the evening and yet the devil was able to deceive Eve and she was able to convince Adam to sin.

This shows that no matter what we think about ourself and our salvation in CHRIST JESUS, we are no better than them. If Adam and Eve who never experience anything bad and personally fellowshipped with GOD daily could be deceived into sinning and be willing sin to please another person. Then what hope do we who are born with a sin nature into a sinful world have? Only in CHRIST JESUS can we be saved! But this is just a rabbit trail.

My main thought as I lay there was that without evil there would be no good! Good only exists where there is evil, the scriptures tell us, “Don’t be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good.” (Romans 12:21) And, “Every good gift and every perfect give is from above, and comes down from The Father of Lights, with Whom there is no variation of shadow of turning.” (James 1:17)

Think about this, the knowledge of good and evil is from the same fruit. If evil had never been introduced into the Garden then good never would have been introduced into the Garden (Don’t be freaked out and stop reading!).What we experience as good would not be special if there was no evil, it would be normal!

In Eternity there will not be several things that we take for granted now; the sun and moon, the seas and goodness (Revelation 22). Peace and Joy will be normal, they will be experienced by everyone in eternity continuously (Revelation 22).

If you want to live in a world where there is no evil and good is normal then you have to give your life to JESUS. Ask Him to forgive your sins and live a repentant life by His SPIRIT and His Word. Then you will someday live in Eternity where there will be no evil (sin) and good will just be normal.
