Sin breeds more sin. When people sin and refuse to repent, their consciences are seared, which leads to more and more sin and increasing depths of depravity until God turns them over to their blackened hearts (Romans 1:28).
People know depravity (such as sexual sin, which is talked about in the immediate context of this verse) is evil, but they not only do it, they approve of others doing it. And the nation of Canada has just put this on display for the world with a 5-4 decision made by their Supreme Court. The decision ruled that it’s unconstitutional to impose “one-year mandatory minimum jail sentences for accessing or possessing child sexual abuse and exploitation materials.”
Genesis 1:3–5 describes God’s creation of light on the first day of creation. God separated this light from the darkness and evaluated it as “good.” He called the light “day,” while the darkness was called “night.” Together, they made up the first evening and morning of day one of creation week. Evening and morning repeat on days two and three, but the sun isn’t made until day four.
One of the most frequently asked questions we receive at Answers in Genesis is about this passage, specifically the question, “What was the light source on days one to three if not the sun?”
Want to learn how to answer any question like Charlie Kirk so powerfully could?
Since Charlie Kirk’s martyrdom, there’s been a growing movement across the nation to equip believers to better defend and articulate their faith in both the private and public sphere. Getting equipped doesn’t necessarily mean knowing the answer to every single question—it’s about knowing how to think; how to properly argue your case; and how to spot flaws, fallacies, and inconsistencies on the “other side” of the debate.
In this brand-new resource from general editor Ken Ham, you’ll discover how to masterfully refute skeptical arguments and defend the existence of God and the truth of his Word. Using a presuppositional approach, this book will embolden you to defend the Christian faith even if you don’t have all the answers.
