MY ANSWER MY Dear Billy Graham: Where did sin come from? Did God create sin? If God created everything, then He must have created sin, also, but somehow that doesn't sound right. Dear Reader: Billy Graham Billy Graham No, it isn't right; God did not create sin.

God is absolutely good, but sin is absolutely evil and the two are absolutely opposite from each other. As the Bible says concerning God: "Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrong (Habakkuk There is much about evil we will never understand in this life; the Bible speaks of evil as a "mystery" (2 Thessalonians 2:7, KJV). Nevertheless, the Bible does point to a very important truth about the origin of sin. God did not create sin but He did create Adam and Eve with a completely free will. They could do good and love God or they could choose to disobey Him and turn against Him.

They chose to believe the lie of Satan, who said, "You will not surely die if you disobey God (Genesis In other words, they not God were responsible for bringing sin into the world. Sin is a reality, and so is death. God loves us, and He yearns to forgive us so we can come back to Him.
