"If there is a God.....?"

It is often asked: "If there is a God, why is the earth (and its society) is in the shape it is in?"

We know that God created the earth perfectly and Adam and Eve dwelt in a perfect garden. There was no sin until they chose to disobey God's command and eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God then cursed the earth:

Cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 
Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; (Gen 3:17b-18)

This is one answer to our "why's".
All people are descended from Adam and are by nature sinful and sinners.

Isaiah pens:  The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth. ( Isa 24:5-6)

When we trust in Christ, we can look forward to a day that all is restored!

      And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 

And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: (Rev 21:3-4, Rev 22:3)

If you have not put your trust in Christ, you don't have to wait another minute. 

      If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. (Rom 10:9-10 NASB)

       Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brethren, what shall we do?”  Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.” (Acts 2:37-39 NASB)
