The world was created by God with peace and harmony (Genesis 1:1) until the fall of man through disobedience to God’s word in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3). The world was created to be devoid of problems like sin, sickness and death but man’s disobedience to God’s instruction not to eat from the forbidden tree brought the whole problems of we see in the world today.

Some have attributed the problem of the world to diverse reasons like politics, religion, with some attributing their problems to witchcraft. While problems may have come from the listed above and many others, they are not the major problem of the world. The major problem of the world is negligence and disobedience to God’s word (Joshua 1:8 ).

The negligence to the word and instructions of God has always been the major problem of the world. Man was created to give glory and honour to God, diligently keeping His commandments (Deuteronomy 6:17). The major duty of man is to keep the commandments of God (Ecclesiastes 12:13) but we all have been deceived by the spirit of the world to think we have any other more serious duty than this (2 Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 2:2).

In the day of old, during the early existence of man — Adam and Eve, God spoke and gave instruction directly with His presence but today God still speak to us but this time, through His Word — the Holy Bible, written by the inspiration of God and writers wrote as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Bible is given to us as a second chance to obey God after the fatal disobedience by our early parents.

God loves man so much that He sent His only begotten son — Jesus to cancel the disobedience of our early parents that by the obedience of our Lord Jesus Christ many who were made sinners by the disobedience of Adam will be made righteous by the obedience of Christ even unto death on the cross of Calvary (Romans 5:19; Philippians 2:8 ).

Jesus Christ brought hope and without Jesus coming to the world, there would have been no remedy or redemption for man from the “sorry” state which disobedience placed man in. Jesus is the solution to the whole world’s problems. Man should be grateful to God who always has solution every problem and provided one for the world. Without Jesus, all our obedience would be self righteousness which would have been as filthy rags in the sight of God (Isaiah 64:6), but by His atoning blood on the cross, we are made just in the sight of God (Romans 5:9).

Adam and Eve sparked the problem of the world by their disobedience, man continues the same problem by the negligence of God’s word and instruction in the Holy Bible, while God has provided the solution to the problem by making His word (the Holy Bible) available and sending His Son to die for the world (John 3:16), so man is without excuse (Roman 1:20).

Accept the solution which has already been made available to us by diligently obeying God’s commandments (John 14:15) and accepting Jesus into your heart, taking Him as your Shepherd that you should obey, trust and follow (John 10:27).
