A couple of weeks ago during confirmation we started preparing the confirmands for the vow statements that they would take on Confirmation Sunday. It came upon the conversation of that “all humans are inclined to evil.”
What exactly does it mean to be inclined to evil?
The word evil brings a multitude of images to our minds, some very bad and some not so bad in our understanding.
Ever since the Garden of Eden we have been inclined to struggle with what we should do and not do. There is this innate desire within us to constantly do it our way, which sometimes leads to doing things that God has not designed. I believe that Jesus came so that we could have life and have it to the full.
I believe that He came because doing good for others is better than not, to make it simple I believe at the very core of who I am and who God made me to be that the way of Jesus is the best way to live.
That life that is worth living is a life that is committed to resisting evil, injustice, and to extend the massive love and grace of Jesus Christ.
I believe in doing good.
Because if nothing else it makes people smile, laugh, and feel the love of God.
That is something worth doing.
