Good vs Evil

As a Christian, I believe there IS absolute good and absolute evil. Everyone says that the difference is blurry and grey, however I believe there is a clean cut line.  God's creation is good, but sin is evil.  The Bible perfectly describes how there is sin, the evil in our world, that has penetrated our world. Ever since the fall of mankind (when Adam and Eve first sinned), there has been evil existing among mankind. This does not make people evil per-say, but the sinful nature inside of each of us is evil, existing because of Satan.

However, man can do good and also be good. Mankind was created in God's image, and He can live inside each and every one of us. If we live our lives to worship and please him, then we are the good in this world. If we follow His will for us, then we are the good in this world. Ultimately, if our lives reflect Him, then we are the good in this world. God didn't make us to make us evil, but to be good.

You cannot tell me that there is no evil existing in this world, when you watch videos of 9/11, and hear about abortion- murdering unborn babies, and read Anne Frank's diary. And you cannot tell me that there is no good when watch people give their lives up to save victims in 9/11, and see people help women to have their unwanted babies, and hear about people who helped hide Jews during the Holocaust. There are so many instances that people would consider a situation to be absolutely evil (like the Holocaust and 9/11), but you can see the good in each situation too, and the heroes that give their lives to put others before themselves. Sin is evil. God is good. And God's people are good. There is no grey area in between.
