 The world is being covered in darkness because of sin. This darkness, this chaos, this disorder is the direct result of sin. And sin is rebellion against God who is goodness. If you rebel against light, don't be surprised when you have darkness. If you rebel against holiness, don't be surprised when you have moral filth. If you rebel against truth, don't be surprised when you have confusion. When God is life, light, goodness, the source of love, joy, and peace. When we live in a way that contradicts his nature, we live in darkness.
