God our Creator has spoken to all men through His Holy Spirit to the prophets and writers of the Old Testament and eventually in the New Testament. He does not tell us all things, He tells us what we need to know.
Isaiah 55:9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.”
God is Sovereign and in control of everything. His plans shall not fail and will come to pass. He wants us to trust Him and trust His perfect plans. There is none like God Almighty.
God is not telling us now or giving us an explanation now, nor does He have to or need to let us know how evil and sin began in heaven and trouble fell to the earth. Pride the source of all sin is a fact.
Isaiah 14:12-1 “How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations!
For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
On the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’ Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, To the lowest depths of the Pit.”
Stan’s sin of pride thought of himself above or equal to God. Thinking of yourself more than God is the sin of pride. The trouble with pride is, it gets worse.
Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.
***************
There’s a riot going on under the watchful eye of God. Sin and its consequences are passed on from Adam and Eve, generation to generation.
After thousands of year’s perpetual sin in its various forms keeps worsening with sin’s destruction.
All over the planet and within each person, a riot of sin rages or sin’s subtlety sways minds and hearts against God.
Sin, evil and wrongs, or injustice violating the precepts of the Bible will not go unpunished.
Psalm 51:5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.
Psalm 6:16-19 These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil,
A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.

God spoke in the New Testament through Jesus, God the Son, and by His Spirit. Holy men of God were moved to write what God wanted them to write for the benefit of all people.
2 Peter 1:21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
1 John 3:4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.
As time and life move forward big questions follow. Why is life here, what’s life’s purpose, what’s next, what happens to the eternal soul?
The only truthful answer for life’s big questions is God. And the Savior of our troubled soul is Jesus.
Believing God our Creator has placed us here to follow and worship Jesus is our purpose. His plan.
Any attempt to think of God less, or efforts to ignore or diminished Jesus is an offence to God and a sin.
Henceforth, we are born sinners so there’s a riot going on, the war of good and evil.
************
The handiwork of God and His constant unfolding plans cannot be overlooked. God brings life daily. Jesus is the truth of God, He is God revealed in the form of a man. God has spoken.
James 4:7-10 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
