    Selected by the asker, anil m. (What's this?)

    The only reason why evil is present in our world is because of sin. Sin originated from Adam and Eve's disobedience in the Garden of Eden. After his disobedience that is when sin was introduced into the world, and thus man was no longer perfect as he were in the image of God. Rather his image became shattered and sin was then a part of human nature. There are a couple of scriptures that support this:

    Romans 3:23
    "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,"

    Romans 5:12
    "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned"

    It is because of Adam's disobedience that we now have the sinful nature. But the good news is that Christ came and became a sacrifice and a substitute for the debt that we already owed. He came, bled, died and rose again so that we would no longer be bound by the sinful nature that is present within us from birth.
