Why. ( Romans 5 v 19 )

Why have we so much wrong in the world, I read recently that 70 percent of women in New Guinea  have experienced rape Why?  what causes humanity to do awful thing, continually we are hearing of well known personalities being charged with rape.The world can be a very dangerous place to live in,why?, the simple answer is disobedience to God,from that time in Eden, an evil disposition took root in our nature,a nature that causes us to disobey God. This is borne out,  by the fact that everyone of us without exception have broken Gods law, read them in Exodus 20 v 1 - 17. and let us remember that if we think it in our hearts, then we have sin because it is in our nature,there is a spirit of disobedience, ( Ephesians 2 v 2) other translations have sons of disobedience,to be accepted by God it takes perfect obedience.So the world continues on its downward path. How often have we said ,how could they do such a thing?,the answer is ,they are at odds with a Holy God . Now God conceived a way out for us,by sending Jesus, who would fulfil  the law perfectly, not breaking it in word. thought, or deed, and God  said that through this mans perfect obedience I will save save mankind, ( Romans 5 v 19 ),the man Jesus would pay the price for our disobedience,by taking our punishment for our sins. It means that no matter how much we have disobeyed God ,He will forgive us, if we call on Him, we will be saved.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The wages of sin is death                                                                                                                          but the free gift of God is                                                                                                                          eternal life in Christ Jesus                                                                                                                          our Lord.                                                                                                                                                         ( Romans 6 v 23 )
