Life is a journey. A journey planned well by God. Everyone who lives in this earth travels in this journey. This journey began when Adam and Eve first sinned and God sent them out of the garden of Eden. The ultimate destiny to enter heaven and live with the Almighty God forever having filled with happiness and never growing old will be the end of it.
It is known that it is riskiest to travel by sea than any other means because it is the most dangerous. The waves can be so rough and capsize a whole ship. Remember the Titanic. Chances of survival are very slim. The coldness of the water can kill you through a disease called hypothermia, which can lead to complete failure of your heart and respiratory system. In addition, there are many dangerous sea animals that can finish you within seconds.
Think of the deadliest sea, the deepest, with the harshest waves and most dangerous sea animals; this is where this journey happens. It is also the longest journey ever because we travel through our entire life.
All the drawbacks that accompany this journey are the evils that we live with day by day and now
they have become the norm. There is so little honesty that those who stop doing evil find themselves the victims of crime (Isaiah 59:15).
When God placed Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, He gave them everything they needed and authority over all His creation. He also put a tree in the middle of the garden and commanded them not to eat of its fruits. Have you ever thought that it would have been easier if God would have uprooted that tree because He knew of the consequences that would befall them if they had eaten its fruit? But
he chose to let it stay there, because He believed that even with evil being amongst men, they would still choose to obey Him as the creator and enjoy doing good than evil, therefore revealing His glory.
In the same way, the world cannot be free from evil, this is because the devil was thrown in the earth and roams around like a lion seeking for whom to devour (1 Peter 5:8) because he knows he has a short time (Revelation 12:12).
When the serpent came to deceive Eve, the Bible says that she looked at the tree and saw that it looked desirable and good. Evil will always look good and desirable, for there is always some false promises that come with it, but the price for them is too much.
