The Conclusion:

The Christian Perspective on Why People Do Unkind Things

Because people are born with a sinful nature. This means that they are born with the tendency to want to do wrong.

The Bible teaches that God created people in His image and likeness and that He wants them to live in relationship with Him, but because of their sinful nature, they cannot. So, God took on human form and lived among us so that we could know Him and have the opportunity of eternal life.

People do unkind things for various reasons - some for pleasure, others out of anger or revenge, some because they don't know any better. But there is hope! The Bible tells us about Jesus Christ who came to save us from our sinfulness so we can have eternal life with God. And God sent his Son, Jesus, to be the Savior of the world.

John3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.”

The life we have now is not really ours; it belongs to God, who loaned it to us while we were still sinners

Romans 6:23 says, For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

But because of what Jesus has done for us on the cross, Satan can no longer claim our lives as his. If any of us are able to claim anything in this life as rightfully ours, it is the reward that God has promised to those who believe in Jesus and follow him.

The Bible says the righteous will live forever, and the wicked will be put on their faces forever

Psalm 37: 9-11

"For evildoers will be eliminated, But those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land.

Yet a little while and the wicked person will be no more; And you will look carefully for his place and he will not be there. But the humble will inherit the land And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity."

Do you want the reward of eternal life? -- Or will you live in the face of everlasting shame?

The days of our years are three score and ten, or eighty (Psalm 90: 10).

God wants to take care of us, but if we're not on His team, we'll be left behind.

Will you be in His team?
