The world is bad, not because of the evil it contains, but because too few Christians really believe in the power of Gods goodness.
“All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.” – 2 Corinthians 5 : 18-19 – God through Christ reconciled the world back to himself. The act of the cross was an act of reconciliation. Mankind’s sin, inherited by everyone through Adam, was dealt with at the cross. God is no longer holding mankind’s sin against them. The world is fallen because we choose darkness instead of light. The church has the power of reconciliation but has chosen to focus on sin and not the Goodness of God. The church has spoken judgment over mankind and not reconciliation. Creation is desperate for the Sons of God to rise up and declare that God is good and His mercies endure forever.
