EVIL MEN OF THE BIBLE

One might easily understand the importance of positive examples of godly men and women who followed the leadership of God. They show people how to act in the midst of a wicked generation. But why is it valuable to see examples of men who strayed from the direction God would have them go? While positive reinforcement is a benefit to show the right direction of life, it is also beneficial to see what rebellion against God brings to life. The Bible teaches a principle: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” (Gal. 6:7). One’s conduct results in certain consequences. If a person’s behavior is in opposition to God, it will produce a crop of evil consequences. Jesus even taught the notion that a person’s life bears fruit in connection to what is within the individual. “A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit” (Matt. 7:18). Examining the lives of those who defied God teaches a lesson of behavior to avoid.
