Origin of Sin
Our God created everything. Did God create sin, or is sin a contradictory of good that is by chance?
God created everything, and at the end of the sixth day of creation he pronounced everything “very good” (Genesis 1:31). All was perfect in God’s creation. Sin was absent.
At some point thereafter angels rebelled against God and were cast into hell (2 Peter 2:4). Through Satan’s temptation in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve sinned against God (Genesis 3). Sin clearly came into the world through people’s actions (Romans 5:12). God is removed from wrongdoing of any kind; he is holy (James 1:13; Exodus 15:11; Isaiah 6:3).
God certainly knew that sin would infect and corrupt his creation. In eternity he formulated his plan to rescue the world (Revelation 13:8), and in time he carried out his plan in the person of his Son Jesus Christ. “To the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.” (Jude 1:25)
