Answer: A saying goes, “Good people are free from mishaps all their lives.” but in reality, it becomes people’s wish. We all can see, in the current society, good people are often bullied, oppressed, excluded and even suppressed by the evil forces. They file a lawsuit but fail, what’s worse, there are even numerous people losing their life. Particularly in China, the believers in God suffer the brutal suppression, arrest and persecution from the Chinese Communist Party, a Satanic regime. They also undergo the cruel torture and even some of them have been beaten to death. However, those corrupt officials and thugs are let off scot-free and prosper in comfort everywhere. The Bible says, “This is an evil generation” (Luke 11:29), “The whole world lies in wickedness” (1 John 5:19). Obviously, this world is so dark because it is ruled by the satanic evil forces.
God’s words say, “Adam and Eve created by God in the beginning were holy people… They lived in the Garden of Eden, undefiled by any filth, unpossessed by the flesh, and in reverence of Jehovah. Later, when they were tempted by Satan, they had the poison of the serpent, and the desire to betray Jehovah, and they lived under the influence of Satan.” “Born into such a filthy land, man has been severely blighted by society, he has been influenced by feudal ethics, and he has been taught at “institutes of higher learning.” The backward thinking, corrupt morality, mean view on life, despicable philosophy, utterly worthless existence, and depraved lifestyle and customs—all of these things have severely intruded upon man’s heart, and severely undermined and attacked his conscience. As a result, man is ever more distant from God, and ever more opposed to Him.” “Man becomes more and more evil, arrogant, condescending, selfish, and malicious. There is no longer any affection between people, no longer any love between family members, no longer any understanding between relatives and friends; human relations have become full of violence. Every single person wants to use violent methods to live in amongst their fellow man; they seize their own livelihood using violence; they win their positions and obtain their own profits using violence and they do anything they want using violent and evil ways. Is this humanity not terrifying?”
God’s words expose the root of all of the darkness and evil in the world, and that all of this came about because of Satan’s corruption. In the beginning, mankind created by God obeyed and worshiped Him; they were able to obey God’s words and they possessed the consciences and reason of normal humanity. But ever since mankind was corrupted by Satan, they started to listen to Satan’s words, thus losing God’s oversight and protection and falling under Satan’s domain. Over several thousand years Satan has continuously used theories of materialism, evolution, and atheism to deceive and corrupt people. Phrases such as “There is no God on earth whatsoever,” “There has never been any Savior,” “Everyone for himself and the devil take the hindmost,” “A man dies for money; a bird dies for food,” “A man leaves his name behind wherever he stays, just as a goose utters its cry wherever it flies,” “A small mind makes no gentleman; a real man is not without venom” and “Seize the day for pleasure, for life is short” are all poisons instilled in us by Satan. These things become our lives and become the laws of survival that we rely upon, so that man has become ever more arrogant, crafty, selfish, contemptible, greedy, and fierce; they all advocate wickedness, violence and lies, lose the conscience and humanity; they are even able to do any evil things to obtain greater interests. Therefore, the whole world is filled with evil, getting worse and worse by the day, and becoming darker and darker.
Only God is the truth, the way and the life! Only God can save us from this evil and dark world and guide us to walk the right path of human life, just as God’s words say, “God is leading people onto the right track of life, that He is leading man to take the next step into another age, that He is leading man to transcend this dark old era, out of the flesh, away from the oppression of the forces of darkness and the influence of Satan, so that each and every person may live in a world of freedom. For the sake of a beautiful tomorrow, and so that people may be bolder in their steps tomorrow, the Spirit of God plans everything for man, and in order that man may have greater enjoyment, God devotes all of His efforts in the flesh to preparing the path ahead of man, hastening the arrival of the day for which man longs.”
