When God created the Earth, He created a perfect Earth and perfect man. He gave man rules in which man was supposed to live by. This included not eating from the tree which gave the knowledge of good and evil. God revealed that the consequence of this action was death. When the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, were tempted by the serpent in the Garden of Eden, they disobeyed the decree of God and ate from the tree. This act of disobedience transformed man, who was created perfect, into an imperfect being and forced the wrath of the Creator who, being the epitome of good, necessarily was forced to keep His original decree, thus causing man to incur death rather than God’s plan of eternal existence. Since the two origins of man’s existence, the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, were now imperfect and sinners, all of their offspring and the generations to come will inherit this sinful affliction; this disease of imperfection.

Sin begins with the mind and it is through the mind that we can (with God’s help) begin our resistance to it and the fallen world in general. Drive through any major city and you will see places that you really should not go to, but it is your choice as to whether you will stop and enter it or not. It is your choice to take that drug or not. It is your choice to engage in premarital sex or not. All of the temptations may be great and the world, through the media or even your friends, may be leading you in the wrong direction, but it is your mind where the real choice is made.
