The Struggle between
Good and Evil
The Lord God took the man and put
him in the Garden of Eden to work it
and take care of it. And the Lord God
commanded the man, “You are free to
eat from any tree in the garden;
Genesis 2:15-17, 3:6-7 (NIV)
but you must not eat from the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil, for
when you eat from it you will certainly
die.”…
Genesis 2:15-17, 3:6-7 (NIV)
When the woman saw that the fruit of
the tree was good for food and pleasing
to the eye, and also desirable for gaining
wisdom, she took some and ate it. She
also gave some to her husband, who
was with her, and he ate it.
Genesis 2:15-17, 3:6-7 (NIV)
Then the eyes of both of them were
opened, and they realized they were
naked; so they sewed fig leaves together
and made coverings for themselves.
Genesis 2:15-17, 3:6-7 (NIV)
John Steinbeck
“I believe that there is one story in the world,
and only one…humans are caught in their lives,
in their thoughts, in their hungers and
ambitions, in their avarice and cruelty, and in
their kindness and generosity too – in a net of
good and evil.”
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
“If only there were evil people somewhere
insidiously committing evil deeds and it were
necessary only to separate them from the rest
of us and destroy them. But the line dividing
good and evil cuts through the heart of every
human being.”
WH Auden
“Evil shares our bed and eats at
our own table.”
I do not understand what I do. For
what I want to do I do not do, but
what I hate I do…For I do not do the
good I want to do, but the evil I do not
want to do — this I keep on doing.
Romans 7:15&19 (NIV)
If you do not do what is right, sin is
crouching at your door; it desires to
have you, but you must rule over it.
Genesis 4:7 (NIV)
What does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to
walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8 (NIV)
If my people, who are called by my
name, will humble themselves and pray
and seek my face and turn from their
wicked ways, then I will hear from
heaven, and I will forgive their sin and
will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV)
Let us consider how we may spur one
another on toward love and good
deeds,
Hebrews 10:24 (NIV)
Edmund Burke
“The only thing necessary for the
triumph of evil is for good men
to do nothing.”
Love must be sincere. Hate what is
evil; cling to what is good.
Roman 12:9 (NIV)
