Those evil people ( Romans 3 v 10 - 23 / 6 v 23 )

From early on in my Christian life ,the doctrine of the sovereignty of God has been precious to me, to know that He is in control,what about evil?. Evil is a fact of life,the history of humanity,is full of so much evil,wars,murders,stealing etc,that's a fact, unjust things are happening all the time.But God is not evil,no, the Lord is good,kind, holy,just,loving, and that's a fact,oh yes He uses evil,yes He uses people even evil people,and they are responsible for their evil actions,and will not escape His justice.  When we think of evil we think of people who do terrible things, Hitler, Stalin,and we loose sight of the fact, that we all are part of a sinful world,and that only God is holy.only God is truly good. Summing up our human condition God's word tells us, that there is no one righteous,not even one,there is no one who understands,there is no one who seeks God.There is no one who does good ,not even one, mouths are full of cursing and bitterness, feet are swift to shed blood, no fear of God   before their eyes, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Whatever you may think about those word, they are true. we are all part of this evil world, one way or the other, and the only hope for us evil people is Jesus,we need Him as our Saviour.
