There are two sources of power in the world: good and evil. The source of good sends forth life through the Spirit of God, and the source of evil sends forth death through its darkness.
These two sources are spiritual forces, and in order for either to have an affect on the world, they need to use human beings. Spirits need a body to manifest themselves in the world. Both the Spirit of good as well as the spirit of evil need a person to express themselves.
The Spirit of God seeks people with character to sow what is good throughout the nations; while, the spirit of evil looks for people without character to use as pedophiles, murderers, rapists, extortionists, to sow evil among the nations. Its goal is to make everyone an unbeliever in the existence of a Just, Holy and Merciful God.
The question is: why are the forces of evil more active in the world than the forces of good? The answer is that those who do evil don’t care about the future of their souls. Besides they make up the majority in this world.
On the other hand those who do what is right, the instruments of the Spirit of Good, are the minority. Few are chosen and saved. That’s because few have made a commitment with the Way, the Truth and the Life Everlasting.
To whom are you committed?
