8. The Result Of The Fall - 2
John 8:44 reads, "You are of your father the devil."
Because of the fall, man and woman cannot but surrender to Satan. Human beings exchanged their own Father. We abandoned God, who is our true Father, and united with a false father, Satan. This way, the first man and woman became the son and daughter of Satan.
Adam and Eve unlawfully became husband and wife under Satan, without the blessing or permission of God. Therefore, when Adam and Eve had children, they were born not as children of God, but as children of Satan. Therefore, after Adam, children with original sin multiplied to form a world of evil. The cause is that man and woman could not persevere centered on God.
In the world of evil, there is only sinfulness, faithlessness, crime, hatred and war. Nations cannot feel pain even when they act to destroy each other. This is hell on earth. The actual master on earth is Satan, not God. Therefore it is recorded in John 12:3 l, "Now shall the ruler of this world be cast out." (90) |
