'''The evil within.'' ( Ephesians 2 v 1 - 10 )

Have you ever asked why humanity is so violent, why did a civilised nation like Germany turned to being a cruel wicked nation?,and indeed why, need we go on.Why do we manifest so much evil? I read this recently by a novelist called Ian McEwan'' The Evil  lies in us all. It takes  hold in an individual, in private lives, within a family......and then, when the conditions are right..... a terrible,a  viciousness against  life erupts,and everyone is surprised by the depth of hatred within himself. Then it sinks back and waits. It's in our hearts'' this is what  Gods word tells us,''The heart  is deceitful above all things and beyond cure'' (Jeremiah 19 v 9 ).The fact is we do not know  our hearts,our nature,we are so blinded by so much we fail to see ourselves as we truly are.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Jesus said                                                                                                                        ''For out of the heart come evil  thoughts, murders,                                                                                    adultery, sexual immortality,theft,false witness ,                                                                                     blasphemies.                                                                                                                                                                       Matthew 15 v 19
