The Bible makes it clear that the root of all evil is sin. Sin entered the world through Adam and Eve's disobedience to God, which led to death and destruction. From this point forward, people have been in a state of spiritual rebellion against God and have experienced the consequences of their own sins as well as the sins of others. This is why the Bible commands us to resist temptation, flee from sin, and seek God's forgiveness. By turning away from sin and trusting in Jesus for salvation, we can have hope of freedom from evil and receive eternal life.
