 “For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints.” (2 Cor. 14:33 ESV)

God is not the author of confusion

The Bible says that God had created everything and that it was “good” (Gen. 1:31). But then the devil corrupted it with sin and caused the world to have confusion and disorder.  “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil” (John 3:8 ESV)

The devil subjected the world to corruption but God brings freedom from its bondage

“For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.” (Rom. 8:19-21 ESV)

Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil

“The one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” (1 John 3:8 NASB)

Jesus has overcome the world

“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (John. 16:33 ESV)

Do all things decently and in order

“But all things should be done decently and in order.” (1 Cor. 14:40 ESV)
