The bible teaches us that evil is the result of lies. It were the lies Satan told Eve that killed the truth living within her and caused humanity to produce wrong deeds.
Genesis 3:1-6
"Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”
“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it."
The bible teaches us that Satan is the father of lies
John 8:44
"You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies."
Evil has its being in the lies that we believe, those lies kill the potential for lasting good to grow within our hearts and minds. Lies kill the truth (God's image) within us and cause us to think untrue thoughts which in turn effect our feelings and our deeds.
Lies never produce good, apart of when we lie to protect good life, but rape, steal, oppress, distort, imprisons, enslaves and hurt the truth outside of us and inside of us. Lies bring into being uncreated realities within our life individually as well as collectively, (Revelation 9) lies build untrue being inside of us and kills, distorts, perverts, imprisons, enslaves, and contaminates our God given true lives .
Isaiah 57:1-4
"The righteous perish,
and no one takes it to heart;
the devout are taken away,
and no one understands
that the righteous are taken away
to be spared from evil.
Those who walk uprightly
enter into peace;
they find rest as they lie in death.
“But you—come here, you children of a sorceress,
you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!
Who are you mocking?
At whom do you sneer
and stick out your tongue?
Are you not a brood of rebels,
the offspring of liars?"
The problem is that even though our lives in lies is untrue, our resulting deeds are not! To be untrue causes very bad things to happen in truth. When we see the truth then we mourn our lives in lies and do away with it like a dirty menstrual cloth. The results of the lie inside are always loathsome.
Revelation 1:7
"“Look, he is coming with the clouds,
and “every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him”;
and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.
So shall it be! Amen."
So no one will be able to refute the truth of God, He knows full well what the consequences of the lie within us and outside of us are. He has suffered all the evil that lies have brought into being and brought it to a good ending.
Colossians 1:20
"and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross."
So only the truth can save us from the lies that have us captive, to believe anything else is simply another lie.
John 8:36
"So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."
