Hope in the Midst of Ashes

What is wrong with the world is a quintessential question for everyone alive. All religions and philosophies deal with the problem. The Bible tells us what’s wrong with God’s good creation in Genesis chapter 3. In a word, the answer is sin. Adam and Eve fell prey to the serpent’s temptation, ate the fruit God had commanded them not to eat, and ushered sin and death into God’s world. That is the fundamental issue with why this world is broken. Thankfully, God gives hope in that dark moment that he would do something to fix what we have broken.
