How to recognise the wicked of the earth?
Sin is increasing, because people are growing in wickedness. If you are wondering why there is so much evil today, it’s because people are choosing wickedness.
God did not create robots. He created people with the basic ability to surrender their lives according to their choices. Most people reject God even after knowing Him. Why? They love wickedness and the gratifying lustful feelings found in evil natures.
