Bible Verses About Evil
Verses on evil — the reality of sin and darkness in the world, and God's call to overcome it with good.
Evil is real — the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. These verses on evil do not flinch from that reality, but they also declare that evil does not have the last word. Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. The Light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it. Christ was manifested to destroy the works of the devil. Every act of goodness, mercy, and love is a defiant declaration that evil will not win — because in the cross, it already lost.
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”
1 Peter 5:8
